S&P 500 futures<\/a> are flat on Wednesday night, following another day of record highs, as Wall Street awaited a key consumer inflation gauge.<\/p>\n Futures tied to the broad index traded near flat, while Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> rose 0.1%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures<\/a> gained 35 points, or 0.08%.<\/p>\n Wednesday night’s action follows a second straight finish<\/a> at all-time closing highs for the S&P 500, fueled by Oracle<\/a>‘s monster rally. The Nasdaq Composite<\/a> finished marginally above its flatline, while the Dow<\/a> lost more than 200 points.<\/p>\n Investors cheered Oracle’s growth outlook for its cloud business. Shares of the stock surged about<\/a> 36% in the session, marking its best day since 1992 and adding $244 billion in market cap.<\/p>\n Traders also saw it as a positive indicator<\/a> for the artificial intelligence trade at large. AI-related stocks such as Broadcom<\/a>, AMD<\/a> and Micron<\/a> also rallied, offering a bright spot for investors in an otherwise weak day.<\/p>\n Those moves come as investors await the August consumer price index due at 8:30 a.m. ET Thursday morning. Economists polled by Dow Jones are expecting the index to rise 0.3% on the month for an annual gain of 2.9%. Excluding volatile food and energy, the so-called core CPI is slated to increase 0.3% from July and 3.1% year over year.<\/p>\n That comes after the producer price index showed an unexpected decline<\/a> of 0.1% on the month. The PPI rose 2.6% on a 12-month basis.<\/p>\n “The PPI’s signal is hard to ignore,” said Julien Lafargue, chief market strategist at Barclays Private Bank. “Unless CPI delivers a significant upside shock, investors are likely to maintain their dovish outlook.”<\/p>\n Traders will also monitor jobless claims and federal budget data due Thursday. Kroger<\/a> will report earnings before the bell, followed by Adobe<\/a> after the market closes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor as a screen displays the logo for Swedish fintech Klarna, during the company\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":216908,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[87565,9203,133,148,64,81,91320,144,76491,135,7070,91322,143,25608,91321,134,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-216907","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-adobe-inc","9":"tag-advanced-micro-devices-inc","10":"tag-breaking-news-markets","11":"tag-broadcom-inc","12":"tag-business","13":"tag-business-news","14":"tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","15":"tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","16":"tag-kroger-co","17":"tag-markets","18":"tag-micron-technology-inc","19":"tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","20":"tag-nasdaq-composite","21":"tag-oracle-corp","22":"tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","23":"tag-stock-markets","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115182973956043464","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216908"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
