US stock futures were little changed on Tuesday morning as investors awaited a key inflation report that could sway the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision next month.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) rose 0.5%, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) advanced 0.2%. Contracts for the Nasdaq-100 (NQ=F) fell below the flatline after stocks rallied on Monday.
Investors will be watching for the release of the Consumer Price Index, which is expected to show cooling inflation. Economists forecast inflation to rise 0.3% from a month earlier, and core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, to tick down to 0.2%.
Nvidia (NVDA) investors continue to reel from the board's investigation into CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Nvidia stock rebounded slightly on Tuesday morning after falling over 4% the day before.
Oil prices are falling, with Brent crude (BZ=F), the international benchmark, and WTI crude (CL=F), the US benchmark, declining by over 2%.
While most of the third quarter earnings season is in the rearview mirror, Nvidia-backed neocloud CoreWeave (CRWV) and quantum computing stocks Quantum (QBTS) and Rigetti Computing (RGTI) report results after the bell today.
Federal Reserve governor Chris Waller said Tuesday that he is leaning toward raising interest rates by a quarter percentage point in December. If October inflation data released Tuesday morning is hot, he's willing to raise rates by 50 basis points next month.
"Inflation is too high … this means that even if, as I expect, the monthly rate of inflation improves in October, I am leaning toward supporting an increase in our policy rate of 25 basis points at the FOMC's December meeting," Waller said in a speech in London.
But if the October inflation data comes out higher than expected, then stronger action may be needed, Waller said. "In that case, I believe a 50 basis point hike in the policy rate should be considered at the December meeting," he said. "Hiking only 25 basis points would put our credibility at risk, a risk I am not eager to take."
