US stock futures were little changed on Thursday as investors awaited economic data that could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook. July’s producer price index and the latest weekly jobless claims figures are due later today. Earlier this week, cooler-than-expected July consumer inflation strengthened expectations for a Fed rate cut in September. On Wednesday, the Dow climbed 1.04%, the S&P 500 rose 0.32%, and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.14%. Eight of the 11 S&P sectors advanced, led by materials, healthcare, and consumer discretionary. Notable movers included AMD, which jumped 5.4%, and Paramount Skydance, which surged 36.7%, while several mega-cap tech names - including Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Alphabet, and Microsoft - slipped.
