The markets have been gaining momentum over the last two trading sessions ahead of Jobs Friday and even Bitcoin has joined in as China data ease concerns over global growth.

The start to the week saw U.S stocks and Bond yield move higher after Chinese Manufacturing PMI data beat expectations. The data gave investors an indication that the world’s second largest economy might start to stabilize as the manufacturing activity is picking up.

Tuesday morning saw the Asian markets rally once more as global economic slowdown fears start to subside from PMI data. The global Oil market also started pushing higher to new 2019 highs as sanctions and production cuts take effect. The markets might just start to digest the push higher and consolidate until we see direction form the U.S markets.

Last week’s inversion of the yield curve was the topic of hot debate and with all the yields moving higher once more we see some ease return to the markets.

Some technical and fundamental points to look out for:

• The price action is still well above its major moving averages which supports the move higher moving forward.
• Ascending Triangle pattern forming on the wall Street 30 which might support a breakout from the 26298-resistance level.
