Stock futures remained mostly flat as investors await important inflation data. The market has been experiencing some volatility, particularly in February, with the S&P 500 down by 2.5% this week. Key driving factors include upcoming data on personal consumption expenditures which is projected to indicate ongoing inflation pressures and concerns surrounding potential tariffs announced by President Trump. The technology-heavy Nasdaq has particularly suffered, with notable drops in mega-cap stocks such as Nvidia, which fell 8.5%. Investors are seeking clarity on economic conditions, including inflation and consumer spending, ahead of the fresh data release tomorrow.
