U.S. Stocks trimmed their advance and the pound and U.K. gilts weakened after the Bank of England said a report that it is likely to delay the sale of government bonds until the market has calmed was “inaccurate.”
European stocks surrendered most of their fourth day of gains. U.S. equity futures were still 1 per cent higher, after the S&P 500 closed above a key technical support level on Monday. Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. led major technology and internet stocks higher in New York premarket trading on Tuesday.
The BOE's comment took some steam out of a recovery in risk assets spurred by positive company results, cheaper valuations that enticed buyers and after policy reversals soothed concerns about UK assets.

Bank of America Corp. said sentiment on stocks and global growth among fund managers it surveyed shows full capitulation, opening the way to an equities rally in 2023. The bank's monthly global fund manager survey “screams macro capitulation, investor capitulation, start of policy capitulation,” strategists led by Michael Hartnett wrote in a note on Tuesday. They expect stocks to bottom in the first half of next year after the Federal Reserve finally pivots away from raising interest rates.
