The ISM business activity index in the US manufacturing sector for September was 60.8 (the forecast was 58.0, the previous value was 58.8). Thus, activity in the US manufacturing sector in September reached a 13-year high, surpassing the expectations of economists.

Another portion of strong macro data showed that the US economy is currently demonstrating a stable state and growth.

Investors are betting on strengthening economic growth and tightening monetary policy in the United States. President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Robert Kaplan on Monday did not exclude the possibility of raising the interest rates of the Fed this year. "We need to think about taking measures in December", Kaplan said.

The yield of 10-year US Treasury bonds today rose to 2.347% from the level of 2,337%, recorded on Monday. The index of the dollar WSJ rose by 0.2% after reaching a maximum from the end of July to 87.00. The increase in the dollar is also accompanied by an increase in the yield of US government bonds. Investors continue to withdraw funds from assets-shelters, such as franc, yen, gold, and actively "invested" in the assets of the American stock market, contributing to the further growth of stock indices.
