Global equity markets have been under pressure during the week as a foray of economic and fundamental factors start to converge.

Asian shares gained some momentum Wednesday morning despite a rise in U.S Treasury yields and a stronger greenback while oil has been a hot topic around the globe.

With a stronger dollar, we could expect that Asian currencies should come under pressure as money flows out on the back of widening real rate differentials. The benchmark 10-year and 30-year U.S Treasury yields rose 5 basis points and 6 basis points respectively. "There's a risk that the Fed may speed up tapering (of its bond-buying stimulus programme) and that in turn means the timetable for tightening may be brought forward, contributing to the stronger dollar," Sim Moh Siong.

The price of Oil stabilized a day after increasing to a one-week high point despite coordinated efforts from the U.S, China, India, South Korea, Japan, and Britain to release barrels from its reserves.

Here is what’s expected this week:

The Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis

The price action on the Wall Street 30 (WS30) has moved lower to find support at the 35517 level as discussed in our previous WS30 note. The price action has been making lower highs and lower lows on the 4H chart which has also formed a short-term channel lower. This puts focus on a break of the 35517-support level could see lower levels targeted and a retest of the base breakout.

We would need to see the price move above the 35896 level of interest to negate the downward price move and target higher levels once more. This could see the 36578-resistance as a possible target price if positive fundamental factors play out.

• Price action is in a downward trajectory on the 4H chart and below our 35896 level of interest (pink line).
• The 50-day SMA (blue line) is trending lower and could act as resistance this week.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at the midpoint and trending sideways which could indicate a move in price is on the horizon in either direction.
