US futures little changed after US Treasury doubles bond buybacks
U.S. futures were little changed after the U.S. Treasury Department planned to double its bond buybacks, which caused government bond yields to fall. Oil prices rose sharply, with Brent crude surging 2.5%, following missile fire in the United Arab Emirates and threats concerning Iran. Global markets showed mixed performance, seeing indices like Germany's DAX and Britain's FTSE 100 decline while Asian shares traded higher.
