Lead: US pre-open sentiment is firmer, with S&P futures and Nasdaq futures supported after the payrolls miss. Session narrative: The ten-year yield is 5.28 and the dollar index is 101.86, keeping rates and FX in the frame. WTI crude is 87.24 and Brent is 97.59 after a sharp slide, while gold holds at 4202.1. Cross-asset check: VIX is 15.33, dollar-yen is 158.077 and euro-dollar is 1.1261, a mix that still favors close monitoring of yield and energy moves. Themes & continuing stories: Payrolls, oil supply recovery, and yield pressure remain the main market drivers. What’s ahead: The key read-through is whether futures strength carries into the open and whether bonds keep the recent bid.
