Dec 04, 2025Crypto traders are eyeing US jobless claims for fresh policy clues, while Asian markets traded mixed, with Japan firmer and broader regional sentiment cautious.

Rate Cut Probability Climbs As US Data Softens
US index futures were steady after Wednesday’s gains, with contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and Nasdaq all modestly higher. European futures were flat to slightly weaker, with DAX and FTSE 100 edging down and CAC 40 a touch stronger.

The next major macro test comes on Friday with the release of the personal consumption expenditures index, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge.
Until then, markets are trading on the assumption that a December cut is virtually locked in and that 2025 and 2026 policy will hinge on how quickly growth and employment cool from here.
