The first trading week of December was positive for the US dollar and the stock market. Good reporting has encouraged investors to buy.

The oil market grew after the OPEC meeting. Not all countries comply with the OPEC agreement, the same Iraq, which promised to reduce production this year by 140,000 barrels per day, exactly as much increased it.

EUR/USD

The US dollar ended the week with very good performance. Optimistic data on the U.S. economy did not give a chance for the euro. On Friday, the euro/dollar fell to 1.1059.

GOLD

Gold continues to follow the euro, and again will test the level of $1450. The precious metal is still consolidating between the levels of $1434-1354 and cannot gain a foothold higher. Only specific information on the negotiations between the U.S. and China will point the way to investors.

INDICES

Friday for the world stock indices was very positive. Perhaps, the traditional Christmas rally is already beginning. After the economic data from the U.S., investors felt the strength and once again drove the indices to historical highs.
