Stock Futures Higher as Cool PPI Print Buoys Sentiment — 2nd Update
U.S. stock futures turned higher after cooler-than-expected producer inflation boosted investor sentiment, with October PPI rising 0.3% versus the 0.4% forecast. Dow and S&P 500 futures gained more than 0.5%, while Nasdaq futures rose 0.4% as Nvidia shares rebounded around 2% premarket. Despite the inflation relief, elevated expectations for a December Fed rate hike and continued weakness in Bitcoin could pressure broader risk sentiment.
