Asian shares started making some gains due to the improvement in the Chinese economy. This also helped us stock the future to cut off some losses. However, the treasure yield lifted the status of US dollars. It reached its peak against the Japanese Yen in the last three years. The FTSE futures were completely stable. The condition of S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures was relatively stable. Gains were seen across the energy complex. Oil prices were on a bull run. The bond yields were sufficiently pushing higher.

Most of the economies are passing through the stage of recovery. The world is keeping an eye on the economic recovery that is taking place in China and the USA. The market sentiments also matter.

A growth of 0.7% was seen in the MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan. There was a minor fluctuation in Japan's Nikkei. This welcome boost played an instrumental role in turning the losses.
In the coming days, the US earnings season is likely to kick off. The policymakers and financial analysis also take into account retail sales data and US inflation.

The bonds were also sold off in Europe and Asia. The short yields in Britain managed to hit its highest figure after a period of one and a half years. The analysts are also concerned about the energy costs. It is widely believed that oil could touch the figure of $100 a barrel due to limited supply.
