It is a new week on the financial market, full of new events and opportunities.
Stock markets are beginning the week tentatively, with indices either in the flat or making very minor gains.
The American dollar, on the other hand, is starting off strong, supported by reassuring data from the U.S. job market. The dollar index has increased to 95.48. Treasury yields are also rising in the United States.
A recovery is also observed on the crude oil market. With the recent developments in Venezuela, it was expected that the country will be able to resume its oil exporting activities. However, the United States imposed sanctions on them, which has prevented an increase in supply and helped boost oil prices. The WTI reached $55.74, while the Brent is near $63.39, both of which are the highest levels so far in 2019.
