European Stock Futures Rise as Silver's Rally Fades, Dollar Edges Lower, US Treasury Yields Flat

European stock futures are higher, while silver has fallen sharply, its biggest one-day decline in over four years, after exchange operator CME Group increased margin requirements for the metal. The U.S. dollar is facing challenges next year due to concerns over fiscal sustainability and unpredictable policy, and Treasury yields are flat ahead of Fed minutes. Crude oil futures are flat, driven by the interplay between fundamentals and macroeconomic and geopolitical factors.
