> Before the US stock market opens, the three major stock index futures are all rising, and the main European stock indices are all up. International oil prices continue to decline, with WTI reported at $65.91 per barrel.

Morgan Stanley is optimistic about the S&P 500 reaching an additional 70 points in the next 12 months and recommends buying on dips. Citigroup expects gold to rise to $3,300–$3,600 within three months, driven by economic slowdown and tariffs.
