The development of financial markets in recent months is very dynamic, which is characterized by foreign exchange market, bond market and stock market. Of the many market driving factors affecting global financial markets, the broadest economic outlook for the United States (US) has affected the perceptions and actions of global financial market players.

This is not only because the impact of the US economy is still considered as a major growth engine for the global economy (other than China), as well as the economic development in the US will be reflected in the Federal Reserve policy.

Any decisions that will be taken by the Fed will have a broad impact on the landscape development of interest rates in various regions around the world. The strengthening of the US dollar has been occurring in recent times, even since early 2018 on a year-to-date basis (ytd), the US $ (DXY) index has gained as much as 1.19% at 93.2. The US $ currency index (DXY) is an index of several currencies such as Canadian Dollar (Canada), Euro (European Zone), GBP (UK), JPY (Japan), AUD (Australia) and NZD (New Zealand).

On the other hand, the currency for emerging markets (year-to-date) (ytd) tends to weaken like Mexican Peso (MXN) -2.82%; Polish Zloty (PLN) -2.47%, Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) -1.38%, Korea Won (KRW) -0.21% and China Yuan (CNY) -0.67%. In the bond market also shows a fairly dynamic movement, where the yield on 10-year US Treasury Bond tends to rise and breaks the 3% level on April 25, 2018 , which is the highest level since January 2014 (3.06%).

Currently, the 10-year US Treasury yield is still trading at the 3.07% level. The development of SSB yields in the US provides insight for financial market participants that the US economy is currently in good shape and potentially rising inflation ahead. The Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data, which may indicate 70% of GDP in the US, shows an upward trend of 1.88% as of April 30, 2018 (up from 1.52% at the end of 2017).

While the Consumer Price Index (CPI), another indicator of inflation representing consumer spending, also rose to 2.5% from the previous 2.1% (end of 2017). This is reinforced by the outcome of the Federal Reserve meeting in May 2018 which tends to tolerate a rise in US inflation in the future so that confidence that the stance of monetary policy in the US will still tend to raise interest rates (hawkish: stronger and better), which for the year 2018 is expected to rise 2 more times.

Economic developments in the European Zone on the other hand, still show developments that tend to "flat". The growth data in the European Zone by the end of April 2018 was 2.5%, down compared to the end of 2017 of 2.8%. Inflation rate also fell to 1.2% (end of April 2018); compared to 2017 inflation at 1.4%.

Global fnancial markets are dominated by banks, fnancial institutions, and other market participants who operate primarily via fat currencies and legacy settlement processes. New technology means we can now deliver greater transparency and access to all market participants. Established fnancial players have so far failed to take the opportunities that blockchain technology has to oﬀer.

Other limitations include:

There is no single provider that connects all markets : crypto, equities, CFD, physical, and futures.
As markets shift it is hard to switch from trading cryptocurrencies into trading other asset classes
Multiple trading or exchange accounts are required, and are mostly dependent on fat
It is costly and time consuming to move funds between providers

That limitation is a problem that requires a solution. With the rapid development of technologies such as blockchain and cryptocurrency we offer a new, multi-asset trading network that will connect all merchants to all markets. This network is called TradeConnect. For more details please read the next paragraph.
