U.S. stock futures moved higher Thursday morning as Wall Street attempted to recover from three consecutive days of losses, with investors preparing for fresh inflation data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s next interest-rate decision.

Dow Jones futures were up about 108 points, or 0.21%, early Thursday, while S&P 500 futures gained roughly 0.13%. Nasdaq 100 futures were slightly lower.

Inflation Is Back in the Spotlight

Investors are awaiting the latest U.S. Producer Price Index (PPI) report, which measures changes in prices received by producers for goods and services.

Although the PPI typically receives less attention than the Consumer Price Index, a stronger-than-expected reading could increase concerns that inflationary pressure is building again.

Those worries have intensified as oil prices remain above $100 per barrel, potentially increasing transportation, manufacturing and energy costs throughout the economy.

Interest Rates Could Move Again

The Federal Reserve’s upcoming meeting is another major focus.

Financial markets were pricing in roughly a 62% probability of an interest-rate increase this month, according to Reuters’ market reporting Thursday morning.

Higher interest rates can affect far more than Wall Street. They can influence borrowing costs for mortgages, credit cards, auto loans and businesses.

Treasury Yields Are Rising

Another concern for investors is the U.S. bond market.

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield reached around 4.85%, putting additional pressure on stocks. When government bonds offer higher returns, investors may become less willing to take risks in equities.

Apple Rises While American Eagle Falls

Several major companies were also moving sharply.

Apple shares gained around 1.2% following the company’s unveiling of its new $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo.

American Eagle shares, meanwhile, fell more than 11% after the retailer issued a cautious sales outlook.

What Americans Should Watch Next

The next inflation readings could help determine whether borrowing costs rise further heading into the final months of 2026.

For Americans with mortgages, retirement accounts, credit-card balances or investments, the Federal Reserve’s next decision could have a direct financial impact.

For now, Wall Street is waiting for the numbers.
