The bull run in US stocks is set to continue at the start of a week when investors will lean on a run of private data for direction on interest rates after measured signals from the Federal Reserve.
S&P 500 futures advanced 0.4%, signaling a firm start to November after a six-month rally in the US benchmark. European and Asian equities also gained. Global bonds were little changed, with 10-year US Treasury yields at 4.08%. Gold erased early gains as haven demand faded and the dollar held steady.
