Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Head For A Losing Week With Key Inflation Report On Deck

September 11, 2026

Stock Market Today

U.S. stock futures wobbled in premarket trading on Friday as investors braced for inflation data that could either solidify or undermine rising expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures also gained 0.5%. Nasdaq-100 contracts edged 0.6% higher after the major indexes extended their losing streak to four days. All three major indexes were on track to post weekly declines.

Oracle shares jumped more than 5% in premarket trading following strong cloud-computing growth in the latest quarter.

Investors are now turning their attention to the Consumer Price Index, the final major inflation reading before Federal Reserve policymakers meet next week. Economists expect consumer prices to have risen 3.4% in August, matching the previous month’s pace.

Although inflation has trended lower since May, it remains well above the Fed’s 2% target. The recent surge in oil prices has added to inflation concerns, with Brent crude topping $106 per barrel and diesel reaching a record high of $6 per gallon.

The rise in oil prices and Treasury yields has prompted traders to increase their bets on a Fed rate hike this month, with the implied probability climbing to 72% from roughly 50% last week. Yahoo Finance reports.

🛢️ BofA Strategists Warn Of Higher Stock Volatility As Outflows Hit U.S. Equities

Outflows from U.S. stocks are setting the stage for increased market volatility as investors and policymakers remain relatively complacent about rising Treasury yields, according to Bank of America strategists.

U.S. equity funds recorded $14.2 billion in outflows over the past three weeks, marking the largest outflow since January, BofA said, citing EPFR Global data. Equity fund inflows are also slowing globally, averaging $7 billion per week over the same period, down sharply from $52 billion in July.

The trend suggests that investors are becoming more cautious. However, there are few signs of panic, as the Federal Reserve continues to debate a data-dependent interest-rate hike despite oil prices remaining above $100 per barrel and diesel prices reaching record highs. Yahoo Finance reports.
