1. US Stock Futures Point Lower Ahead of Inflation Data <\/p>\n

U.S. stock futures are falling in premarket trading after the\u00a0S&P 500<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a>\u00a0closed at\u00a0record highs<\/a>\u00a0ahead of today’s highly anticipated inflation report.\u00a0S&P 500 and Dow futures are down 0.3%, while\u00a0Nasdaq<\/a>\u00a0futures are up down by 0.5% after the tech-heavy index nearly hit a record high yesterday. Bitcoin\u00a0(BTCUSD<\/a>) is dropping to trade at around $110,000. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note is inching higher. Oil and gold futures are both moving lower.\n<\/p>\n

2. Inflation Expected to Have Inched Higher in July <\/p>\n

Inflation is expected to have remained at 2.6%<\/a> year-over-year when the July Personal Consumption Expenditures<\/a> data is released at 8:30 a.m. ET. “Core” inflation, which excludes volatile prices for food and energy, is expected to have risen 2.9%, up from June’s 2.8% reading, according to economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires. Officials at the Federal Reserve use PCE core inflation<\/a> to judge whether inflation is running at the central bank’s target of a 2% annual rate. The report is the last one that Fed officials will see before Sept. 16-17, when the central bank’s policy committee will meet to decide whether to cut interest rates.\n<\/p>\n

3. Dell Stock Drops on Computer Maker’s Soft Current-Quarter Profit Outlook <\/p>\n

Dell Technologies (DELL<\/a>) shares are down 6% in premarket trading after the computer maker’s\u00a0current-quarter profit projection<\/a>\u00a0came in lower than expected. Dell sees third-quarter adjusted\u00a0earnings per share (EPS)<\/a>\u00a0of $2.45 at the midpoint, below the $2.49 expected by analysts surveyed by Visible Alpha. The company’s Q2 results and projections for Q3 revenue and full-year profit and revenue came in above estimates. Dell shares entered Friday up 16% this year.\n<\/p>\n

4. Marvell Technology Stock Sinks on Weak Sales Outlook <\/p>\n

Marvell Technology (MRVL<\/a>) shares are plunging 14% in premarket trading after the firm’s current-quarter revenue projection disappointed investors. The AI chipmaker<\/a> reported second-quarter adjusted EPS of $0.67 on revenue that soared 58% year-over-year to $2.01 billion, both in line with Visible Alpha estimates. However, Marvell’s Q3 revenue projection with a midpoint of $2.06 billion was below the $2.10 billion consensus. Marvell shares entered Friday down 30% this year.\n<\/p>\n
