World stocks extended their gains on Friday, while the dollar held near 15-month lows, after U.S. inflation data earlier in the week unleashed a wave of investor optimism that the U.S. Federal Reserve was nearing the end of its rate-hiking cycle.

The positive momentum was set to continue into Wall Street, with S&P 500 futures up 0.1% and Dow futures up 0.4% .

Norman Villamin, chief group strategist at UBP, said he expected another Fed rate hike in July, but that the September meeting was more uncertain. "Getting the 3% is one thing, getting back to 2% is going to be a much harder task," Villamin said. "That puts a floor on how low bond yields can go again."

The Fed's reserve repo account, which is where eligible firms can park cash at the central bank in exchange for risk-free return, stands at $1.8 billion, down from $2.3 billion at the end of April, according to Refinitiv data, indicating $500 billion of liquidity has come back into markets in that time .
