U.S. Equity Index futures showed early gains led by the Russell index as China resumed activity following the Lunar New Year. Despite the positive momentum, Fed officials Raphael Bostic and Austan Goolsbee expressed a cautious stance on rate cuts, citing structural labor shifts and the need for sustained inflation progress. While gold and silver maintain support from geopolitical uncertainty, copper is rallying on renewed Chinese demand. The market awaits the State of the Union address and key Treasury auctions of 2-year and 5-year notes. Earnings season continues with reports from MercadoLibre and First Solar, while global markets eye upcoming CPI data from Australia, Japan, and the Eurozone.
