Correction in European and US markets. Last Friday amid declining Eurozone consumers’ prices index by 0.7% most of European and US indices closed in minus. The information about Japanese GDP increase by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2009 had no effect on European exchanges that opened in red zone. We expect information on trading balance of Eurozone to be released on Monday.
