Equities not showing much poise on the day

SPX

Dow futures are a touch higher while S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures are slightly lower as we look towards the session ahead.

In Europe, major indices are down around 0.3% to 0.6% so that's a slight dampener on equities sentiment though it comes on the back of solid gains in the past few days - the same can be said for US equities as well.

If anything, this looks more like a pause for breath and some profit taking ahead of Jackson Hole considering the elevated levels. It isn't anything that points towards a major shift in the risk tone from earlier in the week.

Elsewhere, 10-year Treasury yields are little changed at 1.344%. That continues to be a spot to watch in case yields charge higher, which could see some rotational plays as has been the case in the past among the Nasdaq and Dow.
