Stocks in Asia traded higher during today’s early trading session. The comments from Turkeys central bank helped investors believe that there concerns over a possible slowdown of economic growth in China, were probably overestimated.

Stocks in the U.S. climbed yesterday following the release of positive quarterly earnings figures. Automaker Ford and Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer both released better than expected figures and this aided the movement upwards. Investors will continue to react to these figures throughout the day which is great for binary options traders.

Today’s hot asset is, Facebook. A couple of days ago we had the release of Apples quarterly earnings figures after the closing bell that day and today it’s Facebook’s turn. Investors will be fishing for any early information which should create volatility on this asset throughout today’s trading session.
