US EARLY MORNING: US equity futures are around flat; traders continue to focus on potential rate cuts by major central banks in 2024

US PRE-MARKETS: US equity futures are flat, Treasury yields are lower (front-end leads the outperformance as the curve bull-steepens slightly), the Dollar Index is lingering around neutral, while oil benchmarks are slightly higher despite API data reportedly showing a surprise build in headline crude stocks. The theme this morning has once again been focussed on bets that major central banks will cut rates next year; this morning, UK inflation declined by more than expected, seeing the EGB and stocks complex rally in Europe. The Day ahead is thin in terms of scheduled events for US traders, however, consumer confidence data is eyed amid the key holiday spending season, while equity traders will be on the lookout for earnings from Micron (MU) afterhours. Energy traders will be looking to the DoE's weekly inventory data, while keeping an ear out on geopolitical events in the Middle East (there is some chatter that intensive talks are underway on a potential second Gaza truce). There is 20yr bond supply from the Treasury.
