Gladiator Finance's Global Markets Update 2 July 2014

Global markets continue to rise as news of economic expansion across the globe keeps investors bullish as we enter into July.

Manufacturing data out of the US, China, Japan and the UK helped pushed markets higher yesterday as investors looked to further risk as rates look to stay where they are for the foreseeable future.

China's manufacturing PMI rose its fastest in 6mths with a figure of 51 for June over May's 50.8. The United States Index of National Factory Activity slowed slightly but still managed expansion with a 55.3 for June against a 55.4 for May.

This news helped push Asian indexes close to 3yr highs and the Nikkei specifically to 5mth highs.

It's a short trading week in the US with Independence Day on Friday however there is a host of data due from the US before then on employment and  sales data along with a speech later today from Janet Yellen whilst she is at an IMF meeting, very little in the way of new statements is expected from the Fed.

As the week draws to an end the ECB in Europe will make another rate announcement and next week see's a range of data out of China which will be eagerly awaited and which is expected to follow the trend of recent months.
