Gary Jenkins, Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income research at Evolution Securities, said: "the response of the market to China's possible sell-off of euro bond information highlights the extent to which current market confidence is fragile and shows the worrying signs that the market is vulnerable to negative news."

Jenkins said, "the reason why the stock market fell sharply yesterday may be the overreaction of the nervous market. Now the market sentiment has come to the point of" selling first and asking why again ", so this situation may be corrected today.


China denied the news of selling Euro bonds. This positive factor not only promoted the rise of US stocks, but also promoted the rebound of the euro exchange rate and the sharp rise of European stock market.

Asian markets were pushed up by the bottom of the market on Thursday.
