Index futures trading in Asia remained buoyant overnight

Index futures trading in Asia remained buoyant overnight, with Nikkei futures climbing 1.1% on strong robotics export data. Currency stability in USD/JPY provided additional support for equity bulls positioning for fiscal year-end gains. Metals are also dollar-denominated on global markets, and with the US Dollar Index down nearly 10%, metals have become a cheaper buy for non-US investors. And the dollar's decline has been supported, in part, by the Fed's plans to cut rates and questions about the central bank's standing in the eyes of the White House. Trading e-mini futures successfully requires more than just market insight – it demands a platform that aligns with your pace, strategy and technical needs. Whether you’re day trading micro contracts or hedging exposure with larger lots, the right platform can streamline execution, reduce costs and improve risk control. Index futures trading resilience was evident as futures held above key 50-day moving averages despite mixed macroeconomic headlines, indicating underlying bullish sentiment among large market participants.
