Futures markets remain mixed as traders balance shifting economic expectations and key central bank developments.

Equity Futures
Equity index futures continue to show weakness, with the E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq trading below their 30-day highs and maintaining a bearish short-term trend. In the commodity sector, energy markets are finding support, with crude oil advancing more than 2.5% on the session, while copper and silver also post gains.
AGs/Reports
However, agricultural markets remain under pressure, led by declines in wheat, soybeans, and lean hogs. Looking ahead, market participants will focus on a busy economic calendar Thursday, highlighted by the European Central Bank’s interest rate decision, monetary policy statement, and press conference, along with U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) data, weekly unemployment claims, natural gas storage figures, crude oil inventories, and the 30-year Treasury bond auction.
These releases could provide important clues regarding inflation trends, monetary policy expectations, and overall market direction heading into the latter part of the week.
