Asian Stock Market: Asian markets rose after reflecting the positive sentiment gained during the US session yesterday due to better economic data from the country and the likelihood that the US would accept the tax reform earlier than 2019. Australian ASX traded 0.27% higher thanks to the banking sector in the country. Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1.14%, Topix by 0.96% and South Korea's Kospi 100 grew 0.34%. In China, markets also rose, with Shanghai composite rising 0.6%, Shenzhen by 0.60% and Hang Seng 0.89%.
FOREX: During the Asian session, the dollar rose, with the Dollar Index trading at 94.087, compared to 93,600 yesterday. The euro traded below $ 1.1731, compared to levels above $ 1.1760 in the previous week. The common currency declined after Monday made it clear that the efforts of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to create a coalition government have failed, and thus the political outlook for the largest European economy is uncertain. The main losers are AUD by 0.14% and NZD by 0.11%. With the gradual rise in oil prices, CAD is getting support, and with the steadily rising stock markets, the yen is losing power.
Commodity market: OIL - Oil rose slightly on Friday to $ 56.48 and Brent reached $ 62.29. Black gold continues to reflect the arrests in Saudi Arabia and lower production capacity of OPEC. Gold fell slightly against the backdrop of rising markets, but sentiment in the metal remained positive, as a large number of investors preferred to hedge their portfolios.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 75 points, with IBM and Verizon being among the best-performing companies. The main index S & P 500 also finished 0.1% growth, with telecoms earning the most profits. The shares of Delphi Automotive and General Motors were at the top of the index, up 3.4% and 2.3%. Overall, the US stock market enjoys a good year. From the beginning to the present, the S & P 500 has risen by 15 percent.
