Stock futures are little changed as September consumer inflation report looms: Live updates

Traders on Wall Street are waiting for the release of September’s consumer price index report, with stock futures showing little change. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reached record highs in Wednesday’s session, with tech stocks leading the rally. Investors are hoping for signs of inflation cooling in the CPI report, which will also influence the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions. Economists predict a slight increase in monthly CPI and core CPI, excluding food and energy prices. Additionally, Delta Air Lines’ quarterly earnings release is expected before the bell on Thursday.
