U.S. stock futures are pointing to a lower open this morning, following a broad retreat in global markets. Investor attention is firmly fixed on upcoming U.S. inflation figures, which are expected to remain above the Federal Reserve's target.
Stocks to Watch: * Equinix, Inc. jumped in pre-market trading on strong 2026 guidance driven by demand for AI infrastructure. * Cisco Systems, Inc. plunged after its tepid margin outlook, impacted by rising memory-chip prices, overshadowed its recent earnings beat. * Moderna, Inc. is scheduled to report its quarterly earnings before the market opens today. * Enbridge Inc. is also set to release its latest earnings figures this morning.
Looking ahead, the market's direction will likely be influenced by the forthcoming U.S. inflation report, as it will provide clues on the Federal Reserve's future policy path.
