From a report on the state of the economy:
Trotz des Rückgangs der Zuwachsraten gegenüber dem Jahr 2007 sehen beide Institute aber noch immer starke Aufwärtskräfte im Markt
It is obvious what it means but I can only think of 'rallying forces' which doesn't sound right

"PAUL KANGAS: In an environment of high flyers and shooting stars, tonight's "Street Critique" guest says there are some stocks that have been around for more than a century that still have ***upside potential*** for the long term. She's Hilary Kramer, market strategist and author of "Ahead of the Curve." Good to see you again, Hilary."

"First, the P/E multiple was 15.12x on Dec. 1, giving a 6.6 percent dividend yield that is higher than the 4.25 percent SIBOR rate. Secondly, the market still has ***upside potential***, as the price to book ratio was only 3.6 last week, significantly lower than its all time-high of 13 in February last year."
"Saleh Al-Thaqfi, a financial consultant, said, "The Saudi stock market is currently striving to muster fresh strength as evidenced by the ***upward momentum*** achieved recently. The market has been able to attract more conventional investment liquidity. This behavior of the market also strongly indicated the market is distancing itself from any likelihood of the repeating of the heavy crashes as happened last year."

robust dynamics
Perhaps "robust market dynamics"

Actually, it would be more like "market growth dynamics" - but you already have the word "growth" in your sentence.

upward pressure
I submit this as being closer to the original metaphor. "Momentum" implies that the market is already moving in that direction. "Forces" capture the metaphor properly, but this term seems both more natural and more common, IMHO.
