U.S. stock futures pointed higher after all three major Wall Street indexes surged to all-time peaks on Wednesday on the possibility of a Republican sweep that could quickly usher in big fiscal spending. .N
Stocks are "rewarding the presumed likelihood of corporate tax cuts and perceiving a general penchant toward deregulation across industries as positive for earnings," said Naomi Fink, chief global strategist at Nikko Asset Management.
"On the other hand, bond markets have responded unfavourably, with yields rising on the prospect of a united front between executive and legislative arms of government with respect to fiscal expansion."
"This comes at a time when US debt-to-GDP is already at historic highs near 120% and budget deficits already exceed 6% of GDP," she said.

CENTRAL BANKS
The day's main scheduled macro economic event is the Federal Reserve meeting later in the day. Markets 0#FF: were still confident of a 25 basis-point cut on Thursday FEDWATCH, but slightly reduced bets on further easing in December.
Longer term, Trump's proposed tariffs and immigration policies risk stoking inflation, potentially hampering the path to lower rates.
Before that is the Bank of England. It too islikely to cut interest rates by a quarter point on Thursday for only the second time since 2020, but the big question for investors is whether the BoE sends a signal about its subsequent moves after the government's inflation-raising budget.
Sterling GBP=D3 rose 0.3%to $1.2915, following a 1.24% slide on Wednesday. GBP/
Central banks in Norway and Sweden also met Thursday, though they met markets expectations and did little to disrupt currency markets.The Norges Bank at the hawkish end of the developed market spectrum kept rates unchanged at a 16-year high,and the Riksbank cut by 50 bps.
