From the beginning of trading week, on a background of uncertainty concerning FRS further policy shares on Wall Street opened in a minus.
Let's remind that investors expect the speech of the new head of Ce3ntral Bank Bernanke this week. Investors hope that Bernanke will let know that FRS is not going to finish process of rates rise the nearest months during increase of rates.
Bernanke’s testimony takes place on Wednesday and Thursday and tomorrow's report is considered as the most important event of this week.

It is remarkable that last economic data give an occasion to think of that investors began to wait for end of a cycle of rates increase of a little bit prematurely. So, expert Andre Bakhos from Princeton Financial Group. notices that "last data give promise that what experts considered as the end of rates increase, is not the end".
