US Stock Futures Edge Lower Amid Inflation Jitters
US stock futures are slightly weaker this morning, August 25, as investors absorb stronger services data and shifting interest rate expectations. The August US services PMI is at 56.8, indicating a solid pickup in activity, yet input costs remain high.
The US 10-year Treasury yield has eased to 4.71% ahead of this week's inflation scorecard, the July PCE report. This will shape expectations for the Federal Reserve and keep rate-sensitive sectors like tech and real estate in focus.
Top movers include Expedia Group (EXPE), which gained 5.44%, and Dollar Tree (DLTR), which rose 4.01%. Church & Dwight (CHD) added 3.78%.
