U.S. shares were set to drift higher, with Dow futures gaining 0.3% to 26,005.0. S&P 500 futures rose 0.2% to 3,185.38.

Investors are hoping for an improved outlook thanks to the reopening of China's economy following its own early outbreaks, share prices are much higher than justified by the numbers, analysts said. “I do not think there will be any way to sugar-coat a disastrous Q2," said Stephen Innes of AxiCorp. “Still, I am not sure how significant the numbers will be given the premise that investors are paying a top premium for technology stocks based on 2021 rebound earnings." On top of central bank policy meetings in Japan and elsewhere, corporate earnings are looming. “According to FactSet, the estimated earnings decline for the S&P 500 index sits at -44.6%, representing a whole different world compared to the S&P 500 index that is approximately 6% away from its previous all time," said Jingyi Pan of IG.

Junichi Makino, senior economist at SMBC Nikko, noted consumption was recovering in Japan, starting in May, helped by the government cash handouts doled out to curb the pandemic fallout. “It appears that the fears about the outbreak have declined, and sentiments are picking up,” he said, noting there was no lockdown in Japan though people were asked to social distance and work from home.
