US equity futures open higher (ES +9 points, NQ +25 points); T-Note futures U/C; WTI futures -USD 0.72/bbl; Spot XAU -USD 3/oz.

US equity futures are opening higher, suggesting a positive sentiment ahead of the trading day, likely buoyed by factors from the overnight Asian session. Meanwhile, T-Note futures are unchanged, indicating stable bond market sentiment, while WTI crude is down slightly, which could reflect ongoing supply-demand dynamics. The slight dip in gold prices may signal a shift in risk appetite, as investors appear to be leaning towards equities over traditional safe havens.
