Leaning bearish 33/100

The overnight slate features regional Asia-Pacific data including Australian trade figures and Chinese Services PMI, followed by Swiss CPI during the early European session. Light overall economic impact leaves index futures primarily tracking technical positioning and broader headline flow.
