US equity futures signaled a weak start as investors digested mixed earnings and persistent inflation concerns. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures declined between 1.1% and 1.4% in early London trading, reflecting caution ahead of key macro data. Analysts cited reduced risk appetite amid rising Treasury yields and renewed uncertainty over Fed’s policy trajectory. Asian markets mirrored the weakness, while European indices traded flat. Market participants await US inflation readings later this week for directional clarity.
