Wall Street futures steady after S&P 500 hits record high on easing inflation fears

Wall Street futures showed little movement Friday following the S&P 500's record close on Thursday, driven by softer-than-expected inflation data and reduced concerns over further Federal Reserve rate hikes. The Dow Jones futures inched up 0.1%, while Nasdaq futures dipped slightly, with both indexes set for weekly gains. Strong corporate earnings and positive Asian markets supported the optimistic mood. Investors are now focusing on upcoming retail earnings from Target and Walmart, and Nvidia's results later this month, alongside key economic data like retail sales and consumer sentiment surveys.
