http://www.ProfitableTradingTips.com - United States Economic Expansion - Will the coming United States economic expansion translate into higher stock prices and trading profits? European and US stocks rose on the first days of trading in the New Year. The US manufacturing sector is gaining strength and both Germany and China reported better than expected manufacturing numbers. Stocks in the US went up in thin trading as many traders are waiting to see stronger and continuing signs of United States economic expansion. The debt problems of the Euro Zone continually trouble long term investors. As always traders are trying to gain perspective and anticipate the market. However, the up and down sentiment brought on by conflicting news about the Euro Zone debt dilemma has confused many stock and Forex traders for the last year or more. The painfully slow United States economic expansion coming out of the recession ought to have driven sentiment and stock prices higher. But, the world today is so interlinked economically that bad news in economies throughout the world can drag down US markets.
