US equity futures are indicating a slightly higher open as of 04:45 ET. This follows firmer levels in Asia, and European equity markets also opening higher. There are a lot of moving parts currently driving markets, with ongoing reprieve in global bond markets helping sentiment. The US CPI release later today will add further color to the debate on policy outlook. The forecast is to show unchanged core inflation that takes the annualized rate down to lowest since Sep-21.
