Stock futures remained mostly unchanged as investors brace for new inflation data and upcoming earnings reports from major banks. The market faced a minor setback, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones pulling back slightly after reaching record highs. Concerns are rising that inflation may not be decreasing quickly enough, contributing to cautious sentiment among traders. Key earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo are expected to influence market movement on Friday, along with new wholesale price index data that could impact Federal Reserve policy on interest rates.

The outlook suggests that stocks may continue to face pressure due to inflation concerns and mixed earnings results, which could lead to a cautious trading environment.
