In Europe, the main stock markets opened higher today, with all eyes on US inflation figures, a key factor in the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) decision next week on whether to maintain or raise key interest rates.
The euro was slightly lower against the dollar, depreciating by 0.09% and trading at $1.1602 on the Frankfurt foreign exchange market.
Following the European Central Bank's (ECB) decision on Thursday to raise key interest rates by a quarter of a point, the markets are keeping a close eye on the US Department of Labour, which is due to release the August reading of the country's Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The US Department of Labour is publishing the August CPI figures today, the last key indicator ahead of next week's Fed meeting, against a backdrop of expected inflation driven by higher energy prices from the increasingly entrenched conflict in the Middle East.
The Fed's monetary policy meeting takes place on 15 and 16 September, and markets are watching whether it will keep key interest rates in the 3.50%-3.75% range or raise them.
Following Thursday's sharp rises in oil and gas prices, the price of the benchmark Brent crude oil contract in Europe rose by 1.47% to $106.05.
Amid the steady rise in oil prices and the ECB's interest rate hikes, yields on 10-year German government bonds have risen to 3.508%, an all-time high.
Meanwhile, yields on 10-year US government bonds fell today to 4.945%, after rising to over 5% on Thursday – their highest level since 2007.
Futures for the main US indices point to a 0.40% rise for the Dow Jones and a 0.33% rise for the technology-heavy Nasdaq, after both closed lower the previous day.
