The close is in the books. The consumer table is not.
Yahoo Finance, 8:02 a.m. ET Friday: Dow futures 52,374, up 279 from the futures prior of 52,095. S&P futures 7,639.50. Nasdaq-100 futures 29,312.25. Thursday’s cash close remains Dow 52,064.10 −0.60%, S&P 7,591.70, Nasdaq 26,081.72. Do not confuse 8:02 futures with 4 p.m. Do not confuse them with 1:11 yesterday.
Brent $104.17, down $3.46, −3.21% from Yahoo’s prior $107.63. WTI $99.33. Last night after the equity bell we had $108.93 / $103.81. CNBC, 6:27 a.m. ET: Brent $103.78. The handle is still $100-plus on the week. Reuters: on course for more than 8% weekly, first $100 week since mid-May. Bitcoin about $76,900.
CPI, 8:30 a.m. ET — August consumer prices. PPI Thursday was +0.4% month, +5.4% year. Economists, per CNN yesterday, expected annual CPI near 3.3% from July’s 3.4%. That is a forecast. It is not this morning’s table. FOMC Sept. 15–16, Chair Kevin Warsh. We will not invent the print.
What this means for you
If you hold an index, wait for 8:30, then 9:30. If you needed $109 oil, that was last night’s futures last. If you needed the close, it is still 52,064. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: Futures 52,374. Brent $104.17. CPI is next. We will not type it first.
