S&P futures are pointing to a flat open today, as markets brace for December CPI data and the kickoff of earnings season with major banks reporting. Asian equities ended mostly higher on Tuesday. Japan’s Nikkei surged over +3%, driven by snap election speculation and yen weakness. Australia and Taiwan also posted gains, while Thailand was the only major market to close lower. European markets are mixed with the STOXX 600 hitting a fresh all-time high. The CAC is weighed by political uncertainty in France.
