US Stock Market Today (Dec. 19, 2025): S&P 500 Futures Steady Into Record “Triple Witching” as Nike Slides, Oracle Pops on TikTok Deal, and Housing Data Looms
U.S. stock index futures were flat early Friday after a tech-driven rebound Thursday, following November CPI data that showed inflation rising 2.7% year-over-year, below forecasts. Trading volume Thursday neared the 20-session average at 16.89 billion shares. The CPI report’s reliability was questioned due to data collection disruptions from a recent federal shutdown. Investors awaited housing and labor data later Friday.
