US stock futures are slightly higher this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts up about 0.05% and Dow futures also edging into positive territory, as investors focus on falling bond yields and cooling inflation expectations. The US 10 year Treasury yield has dipped below 4.2%, which can ease borrowing costs for households and companies. At the same time, one year ahead US inflation expectations have softened to 3.1%, hinting that the cost of living may not be rising as aggressively as before. The key question for investors now is whether lower yields and gentler inflation put more wind behind rate sensitive areas like real estate, smaller companies and parts of the tech and utilities sectors, or whether lingering growth worries keep them cautious on these more economically sensitive investments.
