Investors are waiting for the publication of the minutes of the December meeting of the US Federal Reserve, scheduled for Wednesday evening. The markets are hoping to get hints about the future policy of the American regulator. According to analysts' forecasts, in February the Fed may raise the discount rate by another 0.25 percentage points, to 4.5-4.75% per annum.


In addition, data on the index of business activity in the US industry will be published today. Experts believe that the indicator in December decreased to 48.5% from 49% in November.


At the end of the week, you should pay attention to the statistics on the labor market in the United States.

These data will also have an impact on the dynamics of the metals market.
