CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Market mood across asset classes was dominated by relief
at the easing inflation trajectory in the U.S. However downbeat corporate
earnings from Europe dampened the euphoria following easing inflation.

Wall Street Futures are close to the flatline. European benchmarks are trading
in the red zone amidst disappointing earnings updates. Asian shares finished
trading on a strong note.

Dollar Index recovered mildly after continuous losses. Bond yields are moving
mixed. Crude oil prices eased after a surge earlier in the trade. Gold shed a
portion of recent gains triggered by renewed rate cut hopes. Cryptocurrencies
surged ahead.
