Sentiment in global markets improved amidst a pause in Iran-Israel hostilities and a decline in crude oil prices. Anxiety ahead of the release of CPI readings from U.S. as well as a slew of central bank interest rate decisions on the horizon limited gains.
Wall Street Futures are trading in mildly positive territory. Benchmarks in Europe are trading on a mostly positive note. Earlier in the day, Asian markets had finished trading on a mixed note.
Dollar Index has shed more than quarter percent. Bond yields mostly eased.
Both the crude oil benchmarks have declined around 2 percent. Gold is trading flat. Cryptocurrencies are trading on a mixed note.
