The main stock indexes showed a steady increase, with the Dow Jones industrial index breaking through the 24,000 mark for the first time in history, amid the fact that President Donald Trump's tax cuts plan can receive sufficient support for implementation.

The focus was also on the United States. The US Department of Commerce said consumer spending rose 0.3% in October after nearly 1% growth in the previous month, which was the largest increase in eight years. The result coincided with the forecasts of economists. Personal incomes grew by 0.4% for the second month in a row. Meanwhile, the savings rate increased to 3.2% from 3%. In September, savings fell to a 10-year low. The PCE index, the Fed's preferred inflation rate, rose 0.1% in October. The so-called "basic" indicator, which excludes food and energy, increased by 0.2%.

In addition, it became known that the number of Americans applying for new unemployment benefits fell last week, confirming the overall strength of the labor market. Initial applications for unemployment benefits, a gauge of layoffs in the US, fell by 2,000 to 238,000, seasonally adjusted in the week ending November 25, the Ministry of Labor said. Economists were expecting 240,000 new applications last week. The drop in appeals indicates a strong and continuing tightening of the labor market, which can contribute to the growth of wages. Employers in the US accelerated hiring in October, reducing the unemployment rate to 4.1%, which is the lowest since the early 2000s.

Most components of the DOW index recorded a rise (24 out of 30). The leader of growth was the shares of United Technologies Corporation (UTX, + 2.88%). Outsider were shares of General Electric Company (GE, -1.27%).

All sectors of the S & P index finished trading in positive territory. The industrial goods sector grew most (+ 1.1%).

Nasdaq + 0.73% 6,873.97 +49.58

As we on can see on 4-hour time frame chart, the attempt to form a chart pattern (Double top) was invalid once the price faoçed to break the neckline.

Besides that, we still might expect a depreciation on EUR/NZD.

Even with the double top invalidated, we can be prepared to enter short if the price forms a triple top and once it breaks the neckline we can have a nice opportunity to take short position.

U.S. stock-index futures were moderately higher on Thursday as tech stocks recovered, while investors monitored developments surrounding a U.S. tax bill and awaited the outcomes of the OPEC meeting.

Canada's current account deficit (on a seasonally adjusted basis) widened by $3.8 billion in the third quarter to $19.3 billion, as the deficit on international trade in goods expanded for the third quarter in a row.

In the financial account (unadjusted for seasonal variation), strong and continued foreign investment in Canadian bonds again led the inflow of funds into the economy.

In the week ending November 25, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 238,000, a decrease of 2,000 from the previous week's revised level.

The euro area (EA19) seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate was 8.8% in October 2017, down from 8.9% in September 2017 and from 9.8% in October 2016. This is the lowest rate recorded in the euro area since January 2009. The EU28 unemployment rate was 7.4% in October 2017, down from 7.5% in September 2017 and from 8.3% in October 2016. This is the lowest rate recorded in the EU28 since November 2008. These figures are published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.

Eurostat estimates that 18.243 million men and women in the EU28, of whom 14.344 million in the euro area, were unemployed in October 2017. Compared with September 2017, the number of persons unemployed decreased by 111 000 in the EU28 and by 88 000 in the euro area. Compared with October 2016, unemployment fell by 2.074 million in the EU28 and by 1.473 million in the euro area.

Euro area annual inflation is expected to be 1.5% in November 2017, up from 1.4% in October 2017, according to a flash estimate from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Looking at the main components of euro area inflation, energy is expected to have the highest annual rate in November (4.7%, compared with 3.0% in October), followed by food, alcohol & tobacco (2.2%, compared with 2.3% in October), services (1.2%, stable compared with October) and non-energy industrial goods (0.4%, stable compared with October).

Turnover in the retail sector fell by 2.7% in nominal terms in October 2017 compared with the previous year. Seasonally adjusted, nominal turnover fell by 1.6% compared with the previous month. These are provisional findings from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

Real turnover in the retail sector also adjusted for sales days and holidays fell by 3.0% in October 2017 compared with the previous year. Real growth takes inflation into consideration. Compared with the previous month, real, seasonally adjusted retail trade turnover registered a decline of 1.5%.

Over a year, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should rise by 1.2% in November 2017, after +1.1% in the previous month, according to the provisional estimate made at the end of the month. This rise in year-on-year inflation, the fourth in a row, should come from an acceleration in energy prices and services prices and from a lesser drop in manufactured product prices. The acceleration in tobacco prices should contribute too, but to a lesser extent. Food prices should grow at the same pace as in the previous month.

Over one month, consumer prices should rise by 0.1%, as in October. This new slight increase should result from an acceleration in energy prices, a lesser fall in services prices and an increase in tobacco prices. On the other hand, food prices should slow down, due to a downturn in fresh food prices, which sharply rebounded in the previous month.

• ECB to leave policy unchanged at dec 14 meeting; keep rates on hold through end-2018

Switzerland's real gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.6 % in the 3rd quarter of 2017, boosted by manufacturing in particular. Many service sectors also contributed to growth, including trade, business services and healthcare. By contrast, value added fell slightly in construction and the financial sector. On the expenditure side, both domestic final demand and foreign trade underpinned GDP. Consumption, investment in equipment and net exports rose, while investment in construction dipped slightly.

• Annual house price growth stable at 2.5%

• Modest 0.1% month-on-month increase

• Limited impact from stamp duty changes

Commenting on the figures, Robert Gardner, Nationwide's Chief Economist, said: "The annual rate of house price growth remained stable in November at 2.5%. Nevertheless, annual growth remains within the 2-4% range that has prevailed since March. Low mortgage rates and healthy rates of employment growth are providing support for demand, but this is being partly offset by pressure on household incomes, which appears to be weighing on confidence. The lack of homes on the market is providing support to house prices".

According to provisional data turnover in retail trade in October 2017 was in real terms 1.4 % smaller and in nominal terms 0.3 % larger than that in October 2016. The number of days open for sale was 24 in October 2017 and 25 in October 2016.

Compared with the previous year, turnover in retail trade was in the first ten months of 2017 in real terms 2.4 % and in nominal terms 4.3 % larger than in in the corresponding period of the previous year.

European stocks closed at a nearly three-week high on Wednesday, boosted by a rally in the region's bank shares a day after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman-nominee Jerome Powell said he hopes to ease financial regulations. The U.K. stock market, however, missed out on the European bounce as the pound rallied after signs of a breakthrough in Brexit negotiations between London and Brussels.

U.S. benchmark stock indexes ended mixed on Wednesday. The Dow hit a fresh record close, whereas the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite fell after tech stocks came under selling pressure. So-called FAANG stocks like Apple AAPL, -2.07% , Amazon AMZN, -2.71% and Google GOOG, -2.46% shed more than 2% of their value.

The week's global decline in technology stocks continued Thursday, weighing on Asian markets. Asian chip shares fell after fresh selling in the U.S. overnight, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 1.3% during a 4.4% slump in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, its biggest drop of the year.
