The main US stock indexes fell slightly on the basis of trading results

Major US stock indexes finished trading below zero, but the index of small-cap companies Russell 2000 reached a record level, despite the growth of yield of US bonds to seven-year highs.

A slight impact on the course of trading was provided by the report submitted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. It reported that the index of business activity in the production sector rose in May to a level of 34.4 points compared to 23.2 points in April. Economists had expected the decline to 21.0 points.

Quotes of oil have increased significantly due to fears that Iranian exports may fall due to the resumption of US sanctions, which will reduce supply in the already tougher market.

Most of the components of DOW finished trading in the red (19 of 30). Outsider were the shares of Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO, -3.76%). The leader of growth was the shares of The Coca-Cola Company (KO, + 1.81%).

Most S & P sectors recorded a decline. The utilities sector showed the greatest decrease (-0.6%). The conglomerate sector grew most (+ 1.0%).

Australian employment change better than expected in April

The trend participation rate increased to a further record high of 65.7 per cent in April 2018, according to the latest figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) today.

"The labour force participation rate was the highest it has been since the series began in 1978, indicating increasing attachment to the labour force," the Chief Economist for the ABS, Bruce Hockman, said.

In line with the increasing participation rate, employment increased by around 14,000 with part-time employment increasing by 8,000 persons and full-time employment by 6,000 persons in April 2018. This continued the recent slowing of employment growth, particularly full-time employment growth.

The trend unemployment rate remained at 5.5 per cent in April 2018 after the March figure was revised down.

"The unemployment rate has continued to be relatively constrained over the past year, and is still hovering around 5.5 to 5.7 per cent", Mr Hockman said.

The seasonally adjusted number of persons employed increased by almost 23,000 persons in April 2018. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased 0.1 percentage points to 5.6 per cent, and the seasonally adjusted labour force participation rate increased slightly to 65.6 per cent.
