Stock futures are little changed as traders await more inflation data

Stock futures were little changed early Thursday as traders awaited more inflation data and weighed fresh earnings reports.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures traded just under the flatline. S&P 500 futures were little changed, while Nasdaq-100 futures added 0.12%.

In Asia, markets ended mixed. Kospi rose 3.6% to enter a bull market. Mainland China's CSI 300 declined 0.57%. Japan's Nikkei 225 added 1.16%. Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.23%.

The July reading of the U.S. producer price index, which gauges what wholesalers pay for raw goods and materials, is set for release Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect an increase of 0.2% from the prior month.

The PPI report comes a day after an in-line reading on the consumer price index. CPI for July increased by 0.1% month over month, matching expectations.

Wall Street also got a boost after CoreWeave and other tech companies soared post earnings.
