US Economic Calendar Today: Stock Futures Hold Steady as Traders Eye Fed Speeches, Treasury Buyback and Delayed Jobs Data
Futures for U.S. stocks held mostly steady early Monday, with the market eyeing two key pieces of economic data: the January jobs numbers out Wednesday — delayed from last week — and Friday’s consumer price index release. Both could help shape the Fed’s rate path. As of 4:52 a.m. EST, Dow E-minis edged up 46 points, or 0.09%. S&P 500 E-minis were off by 4 points, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis slipped 50.25 points. CME Group’s FedWatch tool showed markets still betting on a first rate cut in June. Earnings to watch before the bell: Kyndryl, Becton Dickinson, Apollo Global Management, and Loews.
