20 August 2025, 03:23 USA: Futures Mixed Ahead of Retail Earnings, Fed Minutes.
US stock futures were mixed on Wednesday as investors looked ahead to earnings from major retailers and the release of the Federal Reserve’s July meeting minutes. Dow and S&P 500 futures were little changed, while Nasdaq 100 futures edged lower as pressure on technology stocks persisted. Markets are awaiting results from Lowe’s, Target, and TJX Companies. The Fed minutes will also draw close scrutiny, as the July meeting marked the first time since 1993 that two officials dissented from the policy decision. Attention will then turn to Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming remarks at the Jackson Hole symposium. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite slid 0.59% and 1.46%, respectively, amid a broad selloff in tech shares during a risk-off session. Nvidia fell 3.5%, AMD lost 5.4%, and Palantir Technologies dropped 9.4%. In contrast, the Dow managed a slight 0.02% gain, supported by a post-earnings rally in Home Depot.
