Dow Jones Futures Drop Ahead of Inflation Indicator Release

Dow Jones futures fell on Friday as investors awaited the release of the personal consumption expenditures price index, an inflation indicator. Nike (NKE) also experienced a plunge in its stock following the announcement of its earnings report. The S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures dipped slightly, while the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond dropped to 3.85%. Oil prices rose as West Texas Intermediate futures reached over $74 a barrel. The Commerce Department is expected to release its monthly personal income and outlays report, including the PCE price index, with Wall Street anticipating a 0.1% monthly decrease. Meanwhile, Nike’s stock dropped over 12% after reporting better-than-expected earnings but issuing a “softer” sales outlook.
