BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 08:33 AM EST

Jan 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures extended gains on Tuesday after producer prices data showed abating inflation pressures, placating worries that the Federal Reserve will be cautious in cutting interest rates this year.

Data from the Labor Department showed the Producer Price Index rose 3.3% on an annual basis in December 2024, compared with the 3.4% rise expected by economists polled by Reuters. On a monthly basis, the index rose 0.2%.

Excluding volatile food and energy components, core PPI increased 3.5% on an annual basis, compared with an expected 3.8% rise.

At 08:31 a.m., Dow E-minis were up 246 points, or 0.58%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 40.5 points, or 0.69% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 172.25 points, or 0.82% (Reporting by Sukriti Gupta; Editing by Pooja Desai)

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
