This strength could translate into the central bank opting to raise interest rates to higher-than-expected levels and keep them there for longer.
“The economy continues to show a degree of strength that was not expected,” said David Donabedian, investment director of CIBC Private Wealth US, in statements collected by “The Wall Street Journal.”
“The consumer is holding up pretty well, jobs continue to be added, wage growth is significant and consumers continue to spend,” he added.
Today the US trade deficit data will be published, which will allow further analysis of the situation of the country’s economy.
The sectors also woke up mixed, with communications being the most affected, with a drop of 0.8%, and essential goods the most benefited, with a rise of 0.38%.
In other markets, the Texas oil was down at $76.46 a barrel, the gold receded at $1,787.4 an ounce, the yield on the US ten-year bond dropped to 3.561% and the dollar lost ground against the euro, with a change of 1,051.
