REUTERS/Issei Kato/File PhotoAsian markets on Monday will have their first opportunity to react to Friday's blowout U.S. jobs data and strong rise on Wall Street, although sentiment and direction could be skittish following developments in Israel and Gaza at the weekend.
If the market impact of events in the Middle East is limited, however, Wall Street's rally on Friday should set the tone for trading in Asia on Monday, with China also open for business again after the Golden Week Holiday.and Nasdaq on Friday registered their biggest gains since late August, and the S&P 500 snapped a four-week losing streak, after data showed that showed U.S. job growth in September smashed forecasts.
If the U.S. economy is managing to stay strong while the rest of the world struggles, Asian markets could come under pressure as investment flows into U.S. assets. Good news for the dollar, not so good news for emerging market currencies. These figures do not take into account valuation effects of exchange rate and bond price moves in the month, so it is not necessarily the case that Beijing dumped $45 billion of U.S. bonds.
