Equity futures are modestly higher this morning. Market participants are trying to recover from yesterday's retreat as focus shifts to the October Consumer Price Index, which is out at 8:30 a.m. ET. There's still some nervousness in play about action in the crypto market, but things have improved in the space since yesterday's panicky selling.
Treasury yields are moving lower ahead of the CPI data. The 10-yr note yield is down seven basis points to 4.08% and the 2-yr note yield is down four basis points to 4.60%.
The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.3% to 110.87.
In overseas news, China's Politburo Standing Committee has doubled-down on the need to stick with the zero-covid policy.
