The highlight of the past week was the British referendum. In the first part of the week the market sentiment was bullish because investors believed that the Great Britain would remain in the EU.

During the whole week, French CAC40 declined by 2.1%, British FTSE250 fell by 2% and German DAX deteriorated by 0.8%. In the US, the NASDAQ decreased by 1.9%, while the S&P500 and the DJI went down by 1.6%. It is worth noting that the weekly results did not reflect the scale of the Friday declines – some indices slipped by 8%.

The beginning of June was extremely interesting. Investors learnt a lot of economic data from the Eurozone. In most cases, they did not fail. The consumer indices were higher than market expectations.  In April, the unemployment rate stood at 10.2%, while the dynamic of the retail sales amounted to 1.4%. What is more, the values of the manufacturing PMI and services PMI stood at 51.5 pts. and 53.3 pts.. Nonetheless, investors focused on the meeting of the ECB’s Governing Council. As expected, the interest rates remained unchanged. On the other hand, Mario Draghi’s commentary aroused plenty of market emotions.
