  • US Stock Futures Dip on Inflation Data and Rate Hike Concerns Ahead of Key Earnings
    March 12, 2026, 7:10 AM EDT. US stock futures, including E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, edged lower by about 0.4% as investors reacted to fresh inflation figures showing a 0.3% rise in consumer prices for February and steady 2.5% core inflation excluding food and energy. The persistent core inflation, driven by shelter and medical costs, keeps the 10-year Treasury yield elevated around 4.24%, pressuring rate-sensitive sectors like small caps and real estate. Market watchers await earnings from Adobe, Dollar General, Ulta Beauty, Lennar and Futu Holdings, which will shed light on consumer demand and the impact of higher borrowing costs. Investors are advised to focus on resilient stocks with strong balance sheets amid volatility risks linked to the 'higher for longer' interest rate outlook.
