U.S. stock futures steady as oil tops $100 ahead of inflation data

  • U.S. stock futures held steady after Wall Street recorded a third straight session of declines.
  • Brent crude reached $101.37 a barrel as escalating U.S.-Iran hostilities raised supply disruption concerns.
  • The Producer Price Index is due Thursday, followed by the Consumer Price Index on Friday.

U.S. stock futures were little changed Wednesday evening after Wall Street posted a third consecutive session of losses, as rising Treasury yields and oil prices above $100 a barrel kept investors cautious. S&P 500 Futures rose 0.1% to 7,654.50 points, Nasdaq 100 Futures gained 0.1% to 29,472.75, and Dow Jones Futures advanced 0.2% to 52,535.0 by 20:33 ET (00:33 GMT). Brent crude settled above $100 for the first time since July and reached $101.37 in Asian trading, as escalating U.S.-Iran hostilities raised concerns about oil-flow disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.84%, its highest since November 2023, while the 30-year yield reached about 5.29%. Markets are awaiting the Producer Price Index (measure of wholesale inflation) on Thursday and the Consumer Price Index on Friday, with traders pricing a 60% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike at the Sept. 15-16 meeting. Apple shares fell 0.3% after the company unveiled the foldable iPhone Duo, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, then rose 0.6% after hours.
