Today is the second day of the Easter holiday, so there will still be no trading in most European countries. However, it is a normal trading day in most Asian countries and on Wall Street, so much of the commodity markets are back to trading. Monday started with noticeable gains in China following the publication of positive PMI indices and strong gains in gold and oil prices. Today we will have data releases primarily from the US, although the current week looks even more interesting with the publication of US labor market data this Friday.
