Meanwhile, the markets' attention is drawn to the two-day meeting of the Federal Reserve (Fed) this week. According to the news portal, the US central bank will keep the interest rate unchanged, despite pressure from President Donald Trump.
Among other important events of the week, Yahoo Finance experts highlight Monday’s business activity index and Thursday’s jobless claims. These indicators will give investors an opportunity to assess the current state of the American economy and labor market, according to the news portal.
