Investors were interested in recent economic data on the eve of the Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for next week. According to the published information, market participants' worries about declining consumer sentiment, which could trigger a drop in retail sales, have not been confirmed. A number of additional indexes, released at the same time as the sales data, also reassured traders.

The recent report of an unexpected increase in retail sales in August was partly offset by a downward revision of the July statistics. This fact prevented the market from rising to its full potential the day before.

Last month, US retail sales increased 0.7% compared to July, despite analysts' expectations. They had projected a fall of 0.8%.

The manufacturer's favourable scenarios relate to the active development of the Cisco software subscription business.
