Most indexes continued to decline under the drop in Asian markets and general uncertainty in the markets. Recall, 09 August Asian stock markets continued to decline. The angle of decline was somewhat mitigated by the expectation of the outcome of the meeting of the Committee on the Federal Open Market USA - investors had expected that, in light of recent events, the Fed would decide on the allocation of a new package of incentives the U.S. economy. An additional factor of pressure addressed the negative macroeconomic statistics from China. Prices for consumer goods in China in July 2011 increased by 6.5% in annual terms, to the highest value over the past 37 months. In June 2011, inflation in China was 6.4% on an annualized basis. Markets of Brazil and Argentina, by contrast, showed a significant increase under the influence of growth in the U.S. market. Recall trading on stock markets in Europe and U.S. on Tuesday ended mostly in positive territory. The factor of the support was the decision of the U.S. Federal Reserve maintaining the federal funds rate at a record low of 0.25% per annum.
