Wall Street to open on a flat note
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The US stocks may continue the lackluster trading witnessed in the previous session on Thursday amid mixed economic data and due to uncertainty about the near-term outlook.
At the time of writing, the DJIA futures were down 0.06% at 18,182.50, while the S&P 500 futures were down 0.05% at 2109.15 levels. Meanwhile, NASDAQ futures were up 0.11% at 4441.70 and Russell futures were down 0.03% at 1232.00 levels. The VIX futures were down 0.31% at 16.33 levels.
The lackluster trading in the early session could be due to the string of mixed economic data released today. Initial jobless claims jumped to 313K, an increase of 31K, from the previous week's revised level of 282K. A separate report showed consumer price index fell by 0.7% in January. Meanwhile, the durable goods orders in January rose 2.8%, bettering the estimate of a 1.7% rise.
The global cues are mixed with mixed action in the major Asian and European equity markets
