Summary
US equity futures are modestly firmer, while Asian equities are mixed, and European equities are also mixed. Risk sentiment remains supported by lower Fed tightening expectations after softer-than-expected US producer inflation reinforced the disinflation narrative following the in-line CPI report. September rate-hike expectations have fallen to around 30% from 50% earlier in the week, while recent AI-related earnings remain supportive for technology sentiment. Meanwhile, there has been no diplomatic progress in the US-Iran situation, with the US sending another aircraft carrier to the region and Treasury Secretary Bessent flagging new economic measures against Iran next week.
