U.S. stock futures nudged higher, as market sentiment steadied at the end of a turbulent week. The bond selloff paused, offering temporary relief after days of sharp yield increases that had pressured equities. Investors remained cautious but showed signs of renewed confidence as inflation data and central bank signals were digested.

While volatility lingered, the pause in Treasury selling helped stabilize broader market conditions. Stocks edged higher in early trading, reflecting a tentative shift toward risk appetite. Analysts noted that the improvement was fragile and dependent on upcoming economic indicators.

The pause in bond market turmoil provided a brief respite for equity traders navigating uncertain monetary policy outlooks.
