The S&P 500 Futures are facing a consolidation after the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index rebounded 2.31% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average eased 0.08% yesterday.
Later today, the U.S. Labor Department will post initial jobless claims in the week ending November 7 (0.73 million expected) and October CPI (+1.3% on year expected).
European indices lose ground. The European Commission has reported September industrial production at +0.4% (vs +0.6% on month expected). The German Federal Statistical Office has posted final readings of October CPI at +0.1% on month, as expected. The U.K. Office for National Statistics has released 3Q GDP at +15.5% (vs +15.8% on quarter expected), September industrial production at +0.5% (vs +1.0% on month expected) and trade balance at 613 million pounds surplus (vs 850 million pounds surplus expected).
Asian indices closed in the red except the Japanese Nikkei.
WTI Crude Oil is still bullish. OPEC+ is considering the delay of next year's planned oil-output increase for three to six months, reported Bloomberg citing several delegates. Besides, OPEC's oil production increased to 24.386M b/d in October from 24.064M b/d September. In addition, OPEC said: "The oil demand recovery will be severely hampered and sluggishness in transportation and industrial fuel demand is now assumed to last until mid-2021."
