Stock futures trade higher ahead of key inflation report - Fox Business

U.S. equity futures were trading higher ahead of a highly anticipated report on inflation.

The major futures indexes suggest a gain of 0.3% when trading begins on Wall Street.

The consumer price index is expected to rise 1.1% month-over-month in June. That’s up from a 1.0% increase in May, but below a 1.2% spike in March. 

On a year-over-year basis watch for prices to soar 8.8% in June, a new four-decade high and up from May’s annual gain of 8.6% which was the highest since December 1981.  If you factor out volatile food and energy costs, core consumer prices are anticipated to rise 0.6% for the third consecutive month.
