Morning Juice – US Session Prep

Morning, Traders!
It is Tuesday the 27th of February, here are some things to look out for today.

Sentiment
This morning, the Yen headed for its best day in almost 2 weeks after strong Japanese inflation data supported bets of the BoJ putting an end to its ultra-easy monetary policy stance.

US equity futures were little changed, with investors avoiding big bets ahead of US economic data and Federal Reserve speakers over the coming days, hoping for clues on the prospects of interest rate cuts.
