A light calendar day beckons in Europe

Major currencies are keeping quieter as we look towards European trading, though the aussie and kiwi are mildly weaker as risk tones are keeping more cautious.

US futures are on the retreat after major indices fell back from record levels yesterday, with the S&P 500 snapping an eight-day run - its longest streak since 1997.

Tesla's plunge certainly didn't help the mood music as the Nasdaq dropped by 0.6%.

US futures are keeping lower for now, down by roughly 0.3% on the day.

If anything else, this looks to be more of a breather for now as investors wait on the US CPI data later today to add more colour to the inflation debate.
