After yesterday's presentation from Google, its shares showed growth after four days of decline, although in general US indices fell after yesterday's session.

Investors are most worried about the US-China trade negotiations. After China’s agreement to comply with intellectual property rules, Chinese officials want more guarantees that tariffs will be reduced, since the economy of China is very much tied to the American market and now we are seeing its slowdown against the background of existing tariffs. Investors are now even more worried about the slowdown than a trade war.

Today the attention of the markets is focused on the Fed's decision on the interest rate. It remains a question whether they will keep the current policy in the present situation, since we are seeing zero inflation in the Eurozone and Japan, and inflation in the UK fell below 2%. This event will affect the global markets more than the economy itself, and therefore we advise you to pay attention to how it develops.
