European stocks edge up as investors await US inflation update

European stocks edged up after the S&P 500 closed at a new record high Friday amid optimism over eventual Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and as investors look forward to a crucial update on US inflation.

US equity futures kept to narrow ranges after the S&P 500 closed above 5,000 for the first time on Friday, driven by a renewed rally in big tech companies. Treasury yields ticked lower, while the dollar was steady after wrapping up a sixth week of gains, the longest winning streak since early September.
