US futures are indicating a higher open as of 04:05 ET. European equity markets have opened positive, following mixed levels in Asian markets. Attention turns to this week's key macro events. In addition to the 2-Nov FOMC meeting, for which markets have priced in another pause, Treasury Department quarterly refunding is also seen as potentially bigger swing factor than Fed. BOE is also on radar, with markets expecting hawkish hold. BOJ meeting may discuss YCC tweaks.
