During European trading hours on Friday, futures for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 edged higher despite ongoing pressure on global equities from surging bond yields and rising oil prices. According to FX Street, Dow Jones futures increased by 0.14%, trading near 51,790, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.33% to around 7,780. Nasdaq 100 futures also advanced 0.34%, reaching approximately 30,870.
However, Deutsche Bank strategists highlighted that higher bond yields and elevated oil prices continue to weigh on risk assets, contributing to broader declines in European indices. Notably, the S&P 500 experienced a slip for the third consecutive session, despite a late recovery attempt, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty.
For Japanese investors, these developments underscore the importance of monitoring US equity futures and global yield trends, which can influence risk sentiment and capital flows in Asia's markets.
