As we approach the open in NY, US equity indices are indicated modestly higher (as they’ve been every session this week) on a less newsy overnight highlighted by Fed Gov Waller calling for a rate cut at the end of the month, with the SPX on track for the 3rd weekly gain in the last X weeks aided by overall strong corporate earnings.

Later this morning we’ll get preliminary July UMich consumer sentiment.

Elsewhere, bond yields are edging lower, and the dollar is falling back from 3-week highs. Perhaps aided by that commodities are broadly higher with crude, gold, copper, and nat gas all up.  Bitcoin is little changed. 
$SPX +0.2%, $NDX +0.1%, $RUT +0.7%. 
$SPY $QQQ $IWM
