Major US stock indexes retreated from previously reached highs, and completed the session with a minimum increase. The focus of the market participants was a block of data on the United States, speculation about who would become the next head of the Fed after Yellen, as well as reports of the resignation of US Secretary Rex Tillerson, which were then refuted.

Tillerson denied reports that he was resigning, and said that Vice President Mike Pence and other dignitaries had persuaded him not to resign because of increased tensions with US President Donald Trump.

As for the US data, the report from Automatic Data Processing (ADP) showed that the growth rate of employment in the private sector of the US slowed down in September less than expected. According to the data, in September the number of employed increased by 135 thousand people compared to the revised downward indicator for August at 228 thousand (originally reported growth of 237 thousand). Analysts had expected that the number of employees would increase by 130 thousand.

Meanwhile, data from Markit signaled a further increase in business activity in the US services sector. Although the growth rate slightly weakened compared to August, the growth in both activity and the influx of new orders was strong compared to the average for the last two years. The index of business activity in the services sector was 55.3 in September, slightly down from 56.0 in August. This confirmed the strong end of the third quarter, and the fastest average quarterly growth this year. Steady growth in output and new orders supported the increase in the number of employees. Additional workplaces helped alleviate pressure on capacity. Meanwhile, inflation of purchase prices was the fastest since June 2015, and inflation of selling prices accelerated the fastest in just three years.

In addition, it became known that the index of business activity in the US services sector, calculated by the Institute for Supply Management, rose to 59.8 points in September compared to 55.3 points in August. As a result, the index reached its highest level since August 2005 (at that time the index was 61.3 points). Analysts predicted that the figure will improve only to 55.5 points.

Most components of the DOW index recorded a decline (16 out of 30). Outsider were shares of General Electric Company (GE, -1.41%). Leader of the growth were shares of NIKE, Inc. (NKE, + 1.18%).

Most sectors of the S & P index finished trading in positive territory. The utilities sector grew most (+ 0.8%). The largest decline was shown in the financial sector (-0.3%).

U.S. commercial crude oil inventories (excluding those in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve) decreased by 6.0 million barrels from the previous week. At 465.0 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are near the upper limit of the average range for this time of year.

Total motor gasoline inventories increased 1.6 million barrels last week, and are in the upper half of the average range. Both finished gasoline inventories and blending components inventories increased last week.

Distillate fuel inventories decreased by 2.6 million barrels last week and are in the lower half of the average range for this time of year. Propane/propylene inventories decreased by 0.4 million barrels last week and are in the lower half of the average range. Total commercial petroleum inventories decreased by 6.1 million barrels last week.

Economic activity in the non-manufacturing sector grew in September for the 93rd consecutive month, say the nation's purchasing and supply executives in the latest Non-Manufacturing ISM Report.

Anthony Nieves, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management says:

"The NMI registered 59.8 percent, which is 4.5 percentage points higher than the August reading of 55.3 percent. This represents continued growth in the non-manufacturing sector at a faster rate. This is the highest reading since August 2005 when the index registered 61.3 percent. The Non-Manufacturing Business Activity Index increased to 61.3 percent, 3.8 percentage points higher than the August reading of 57.5 percent, reflecting growth for the 98th consecutive month, at a faster rate in September.

The New Orders Index registered 63 percent, 5.9 percentage points higher than the reading of 57.1 percent in August. The Employment Index increased 0.6 percentage point in September to 56.8 percent from the August reading of 56.2 percent. The Prices Index increased substantially by 8.4 percentage points from the August reading of 57.9 percent to 66.3 percent, indicating prices increased in September for the fourth consecutive month.

U.S. stock-index futures were slightly lower on Wednesday, following two straight days of record highs for the three major indexes, as investors prepared for key U.S. labour market data, set to be released on Friday.

Private sector employment increased by 135,000 jobs from August to September according to the September ADP National Employment Report.

"In September, small businesses experienced a dip in hiring," said Ahu Yildirmaz, vice president and cohead of the ADP Research Institute.

"This is in part due to Hurricane's Harvey and Irma which significantly impacted smaller retailers. "In addition, the continued slow down we have seen in small business hiring could be due to a lack of competitive compensation to attract skilled talent." Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, said, "Hurricanes Harvey and Irma hurt the job market in September. Looking through the storms the job market remains sturdy and strong."

In August 2017 compared with July 2017, the seasonally adjusted volume of retail trade fell by 0.5% in the euro area (EA19), while it remained stable in the EU28, according to estimates from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In July, the retail trade volume decreased by 0.3% in the euro area and remained stable in the EU28.

In August 2017 compared with August 2016, the calendar adjusted retail sales index increased by 1.2% in the euro area and by 2.0% in the EU28.

September data revealed a continued upturn in business activity across the UK service sector, although the rate of expansion edged up only slightly since August and remained weaker than seen on average in the first half of the year. Relatively subdued domestic demand acted as a drag on activity growth, with the latest rise in incoming new work the slowest for 13 months.

At the same time, service providers remained under pressure from sharply rising operating expenses, which contributed to the fastest rate of prices charged inflation since April.

The headline seasonally adjusted IHS Markit/CIPS Services PMI Business Activity Index posted 53.6 in September, up from an 11-month low of 53.2 in August. Looking at Q3 as a whole, growth has eased slightly since the previous quarter (the index averaged 54.3 in Q2, compared to 53.5 in Q3)

The eurozone economy ended the third quarter with a flourish as output growth accelerated to a fourmonth high in September, underpinned by the steepest gain in new work received for almost sixand-a-half years.

At 56.7 in September, up from 55.7 in August, the final IHS Markit Eurozone PMI Composite Output Index matched the earlier flash estimate. The outlook also remained bright, with business optimism rising to a four-month high.

The seasonally adjusted final IHS Markit Germany Services PMI Business Activity Index rose for the second month running in September to 55.6, up from 53.5 in August. The latest reading signalled the joint-fastest rate of expansion seen since the end 2015, equalling that recorded in March. Average services growth in the third quarter was slightly down on quarter two, however.

The seasonally adjusted final IHS Markit Germany Composite Output Index meanwhile registered its highest reading in almost six-and-a-half years, at 57.7. This reflected not only the stronger increase in services activity, but also a further acceleration of manufacturing output growth to the fastest since early-2011.

Following a loss of momentum midway through the third quarter, activity growth in the French service sector quickened in September. Renewed impetus was underpinned by a marked increase in new orders, which contributed to a sharper rise in employment. Capacity pressures persisted, however, amid a further notable accumulation of unfinished work. As a result, expectations for growth remained high.

The final seasonally adjusted IHS Markit France Composite Output Index - which covers the combined manufacturing and service sectors - posted 57.1 in September, up markedly from 55.2 in August and a 76-month high.

Strong growth of new business fed through to another sharp monthly rise in activity in the Spanish service sector, with rates of expansion in both quickening from August. Rising workloads encouraged companies to increase staffing levels again. Stronger client demand enabled another rise in output prices, with the rate of inflation among the fastest in the past decade. Meanwhile, input costs increased at a weaker pace.

The headline seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index rose to 56.7 in September from 56.0 in August, thereby signalling a sharp and accelerated increase in business activity at Spanish services companies. Activity has now risen in each of the past 47 months, with the latest expansion linked by panellists to improving market conditions and rising customer numbers.
