US markets are on track for a modestly lower start. Index futures spent the bulk of the night just below their flat lines, but slipped to lows about an hour ago. The recent downtick took place as markets in Europe retreated to their lows, but for the time being, the key indices there have been able to stay out of the red.
The major Asian bourses ended mixed. Japan's 10-yr yield dipped below the 0.40% threshold for the first time ever after the BSI Manufacturing Index (8.1; expected 13.1) was the latest number to fall short of estimates.
Major European indices have slipped from their highs with Spain's IBEX (-0.1%) dipping into the red. Elsewhere, Bank of England Governor Mark Carney discussed the expected rate path once again, saying rate hikes will be gradual and limited. Mr. Carney also said inflation is likely to dip below 1.0%
Gold climbed today, while Crude oil is lower by 2.2% at $62.45/bbl while copper futures have surrendered 1.0% to $2.899/lb.
