  2. US Stock Futures Steady Ahead of PCE Data and Nvidia Earnings

    US stock futures remain largely unchanged as investors wait for the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation report and Nvidia's earnings. These two catalysts are expected to dictate market sentiment by providing clarity on US economic inflation and the current state of the technology sector. Traders are maintaining a cautious stance until these figures are released, as the results could trigger significant volatility in both broad indices and tech-heavy portfolios.

    Why it matters

    The PCE index is a primary metric used by the Federal Reserve to guide interest rate decisions. Nvidia earnings serve as a proxy for the broader artificial intelligence investment cycle.
