strengthened throughout the board within the Asian session with none clear catalyst. It
seems to be prefer it was extra of a technical transfer as the worth broke via a key
trendline somewhat than one thing basic.

cuts into resilient development ought to enhance financial exercise and preserve long run
yields excessive.

Nonetheless, the development for
now stays skewed to the draw back, so we are going to want some “affirmation” from the
technical facet to begin searching for extra upside or discard the concept.
