US economic calendar today: Retail sales and PPI loom as Wall Street futures slip ahead of bank earnings

NEW YORK, Jan 14, 2026, 06:47 ET — Premarket Futures on U.S. stock indexes edged lower Wednesday ahead of major bank earnings and a U.S. data lineup that might shake up rate forecasts.

Meanwhile, a hotter producer price index might signal inflationary pressures brewing before they hit
