About this listen
US equity futures are under pressure following a mostly higher Friday close, with Asian markets mixed in holiday-thinned trade and European equities trading modestly firmer. Markets continue to rotate beneath the surface. The broadening-out trade remains intact, supported by cooler headline inflation and a rate rally, though AI-related concentration risk and scrutiny around large-cap tech valuations remain an overhang. Investors are balancing softer consumer data against still-solid labor conditions and stable earnings trends, while positioning and sentiment appear less stretched than earlier in the year. Attention now shifts to the upcoming batch of economic releases and policy signals, with inflation trends and Fed communication remaining central to the outlook.
