Global markets show mixed movements this December 15th. The Japanese yen gains ground anticipating a possible rate hike from the Bank of Japan, while the US dollar remains weak at the start of a week packed with key monetary policy data.

In the US, Dow Jones futures rise, led by sectors such as automotive and health, following the recent drop in technology stocks.
