The U.S. stock market indexes on Tuesday have showed multidirectional dynamics. Support had a message that Mr. Barack Obama has agreed to extend the program of tax cuts for absolutely all citizens of the United States for another two years. Specified tax benefits will be extended and for U.S. citizens whose family income exceeds $ 250 million with it, Mr. Obama said that the compromise represents an important step in post- crisis recovery, he will encourage the private sector to create jobs and give it further impetus, in which the economy needs. However, at the same time, considerable pressure was increasing the U.S. dollar versus the euro against the backdrop of growing concern about the situation with the debt problems of Ireland. In addition, as it became known, the finance ministers of 16 countries in the Euro zone after meeting in Brussels decided that the volume of the stabilization fund is sufficient for the EU to cope with the debt crisis, and no need for an immediate increase in the fund. Earlier the head of the IMF Managing Director Mr. Dominique Strauss-Kahn called for increased fund for financial stability. Against this backdrop, investors fear that the fund may not be enough in case of deterioration of the budgetary problems in Spain and Portugal.
