S&P futures are pointing to a flat open today. Markets are responding positively to a record close in the U.S. markets, driven by CPI data that supports expectations of a September rate cut. While the data reflects mixed impacts from tariffs, it is seen as mild enough to justify Fed easing, particularly amid signs of labor market weakness. Asian markets surged today, with notable performances in Japan and Hong Kong. European markets are also firmer in early trades.
