Some of the economic news have been mentioned above as per HLL's report.

---

ASX200: now starting to test resistance at 5250 with the positive sentiment coming in from China and the US. Support at 5150 remains as a possibility.

S&P500:

China Shanghai Composite: smashing through the the resistance at 2200 and the descending triangle indicating a stop with the down trend. Reversal below the trendline can bring it back to support at 1950.

Gold: all I need to say is WHAT THE...? Testing the rising trendline and support of 1320? If we get a bounce, this time we can look at 1500 target.
