little. trading on global financial markets but a wall street recovery gains traction in the dying minutes of the trading day global markets followed in the u.s. down in the tuesday session will untangle the mess with our correspondent in new york. we have the liftoff it may be a small step for mankind but it's a giant leap for a long march as companies space x. blasting the world's most powerful rockets into space. and close quarters in hong kong prices are shooting through the roof even for the roughest of accommodation. and under winter in a bus lane this is your business update all eyes were on the new york stock exchange on tuesday which had sparks a global sell off at the start of the week the session began significantly down but

bounced back because a day of volatile trading got underway the dow seesawed by hundreds of points in and out of positive territory before finally closing tuesday two point three percent up just shy of the twenty five thousand mark analysts are talking of a normal correction during a record bull market. let's pull in the quarter who's on wall street force against u.s. markets rocketing into positive territory by the end of the session is this is a sign that investors have found their bearings. we did see the biggest comeback for wall street since october twenty seventh at the beginning we were down about five hundred sixty points and then we ended the day up by almost five hundred seventy points meaning we had a swing of a good one thousand points just within the session and if we want to call it the button i would say really get back to normal territory when we don't have swings.

of a book called the points within days so i guess we might have to be a bit more patient so not quite normal territory but the u.s. economy is doing really well at the moment global growth is starting to sync up so how we supposed to reconcile those facts with the pessimism from investors in the past couple of trading days and also corporate earnings are actually doing pretty good the only thing is yes the economy is growing yes business seems to be pretty robust for u.s. corporations but where is this growth coming from how did the finances part of the story is that we finance and through the credit markets meaning with a debt on the private side of the corporate side and also on the governmental side and now that bond prices not the prices but the yields are increasing off treasuries and also all of corporate bonds so that makes this debt more expensive it makes financing for corporations more expensive so if we should see the certain overheating of the u.s. economy we could see a sea increase even further and that's why the market reacts so negatively to

overall pretty good numbers from the u.s. economy ok so good figures but the best have reason to salivate still of course when you look at twenty seventeen this correction looks bad but perhaps you've just been spoiled by the gains of recent years but what are we looking at going forward . well certainly we were in up quite a bit and then we do see a correction of eight nine ten percent is not unusual what is unusual is the speed just was in monday's session at some point we lost the last about sixteen hundred points this is unusual and that's why a lot of traders see on wall street are asking this question it's a fundamental if the market structure is actually sound or if there was something off sold that will be a point of discussion for the next couple of weeks and months and when we talk about the stock market overall a lot will depend if it be yields will normalize again and of growth continues then
