U.S. stock futures were flat Wednesday morning as markets braced for two closely watched events: the release of July's personal consumption expenditures price index and Nvidia $NVDA's second-quarter earnings report after the closing bell.
S&P 500 futures edged down 0.1% and Nasdaq $NDAQ-100 futures slipped 0.2%; Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 6 points, equivalent to a 0.01% gain. Tuesday's session extended the Dow's winning streak to three straight sessions, with the index rising 160.24 points, or 0.3%. Both benchmarks closed higher Tuesday, with the S&P 500 up 0.3% and the Nasdaq Composite finishing 0.7% ahead, each benefiting from retreating bond yields and weaker oil prices.
