Builders are hitting the brakes harder than expected. Total new vehicle sales just came in well below last month's 58.06 pace, signaling fresh cracks in consumer demand as rates stay sticky.

In Europe, the yen is back on the ropes. USD/JPY tumbled again after an early bounce with fresh signs the Japan Ministry of Finance may have stepped in overnight. The move wiped out most of what looked like an intervention play just hours ago, leaving traders guessing what's next for the pair.

And the Bank of England’s Huw Pill is speaking this morning with fresh comments on the UK rate path that markets are watching closely for any shift in tone.

All of this leaves European futures mixed and Asian markets on edge heading into the New York open.
