Stock Futures Flat as S&P 500 Hovers Near Record High Amid Inflation Watch
U.S. stock futures remained steady Thursday night as major indices lingered NEAR all-time highs, with investors bracing for the release of pivotal inflation data. Nasdaq 100 (NDX), Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and S&P 500 (SPX) futures edged up marginally, reflecting cautious optimism.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 closed Thursday’s session at near-record levels, buoyed by broad market gains. Attention now shifts to the May personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index—a critical measure of inflationary trends that could dictate near-term market sentiment.
