US equity futures open higher (ES +13 points, NQ +74 points); T-Note futures +2 ticks; WTI futures -USD 0.05/bbl; Spot XAU -USD 10/oz.

The US equity futures are indicating a positive start, reflecting potential bullish sentiment in the markets, likely driven by external factors such as global economic data or earnings reports. The slight uptick in T-Note futures suggests a modest shift in risk sentiment, while the decline in WTI and gold prices may imply reduced inflation fears or profit-taking dynamics. This mixed bag of assets underlines the importance of monitoring geopolitical events and economic indicators that could sway market sentiment today.
