📈BEFORE THE BELL 🔔

🟢Futures tied to Canada's main stock index ticked down following a record rally and a quarter point interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada this week. U.S. stock index futures were muted, taking a breather after the main indexes hit record highs in the previous session, partly lifted by Intel following Nvidia’s $5 billion stake in the chipmaker.

🟢European stock markets made small gains and were on track for a modest weekly advance.

🟢 In Japan, Nikkei flipped to a loss, while bond yields jumped to 17-year peaks after the Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady as expected, but in a split decision with two of the nine board members voting for a hike.

🟢The U.S. dollar index, meanwhile, inched higher.

🟢In commodities, oil prices dipped as demand fears overshadowed U.S. policy easing.

🟢Gold edged higher, poised for a fifth consecutive weekly gain.

🟢Investors will look to July domestic retail sales data slated for later in the day for clues on consumer economic impact.
