Wall Street equity futures also pointed to further gains after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 jumped in excess of two per cent on Friday. In New York premarket trading, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. soared after losing almost half its value in the previous week on bankruptcy worries.

The U.S. December inflation report due Thursday will be front of mind for traders after last week's jobs data failed to offer a clear picture, with unemployment at its lowest level in decades, while wage gains were weak. Kansas City Federal Reserve's Esther George on Friday warned that officials will have a tough road ahead as they attempt to balance inflation and employment while others have previously emphasized rates will be higher, and held there for longer than earlier anticipated.
