Global stock markets opened the week with cautious Optimism as investors weighed potential Federal Reserve rate cuts against geopolitical uncertainties. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 futures rose 57 points and 0.14% respectively, while Nasdaq futures also gained ground. Small-cap stocks surged over 3% last week, signaling risk appetite despite choppy conditions.

Asian markets mirrored the upbeat sentiment, with Japan's Nikkei 225 climbing 1% and China's CSI 300 hitting its highest level since October 2024. Hong Kong and Indian indices advanced, though South Korea bucked the trend with a 1% decline. The market's focus remains squarely on the Fed's Jackson Hole symposium, where traders anticipate clues about September rate cuts currently priced at 85% probability.
