Key Takeaway:
As global stock markets remain closed, futures markets point to a cautiously optimistic start: US, European, and Asian index futures are all in positive territory, with tech and commodities showing resilience. The macro backdrop is shaped by softer US inflation, rising expectations of Fed rate cuts, and continued strength in gold and oil. Volatility is subdued, and the mood is constructive as investors await the opening bell.
