US STOCKS SNAPSHOT-US stock index futures extend gains after August inflation data

BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 09/26/25 08:34 AM EDT

Sept 26 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures extended gains on Friday, after an in-line inflation reading reinforced bets that the Federal Reserve may proceed with interest rate cuts this year.

A Commerce Department report showed the Personal Consumption Expenditures index rose 2.7% in August on an annual basis, compared with an estimated 2.7% rise, according to economists polled by Reuters.

Excluding volatile food and energy components, core PCE increased 2.9%, also in line with expectations.

At 08:32 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 201 points, or 0.43%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 20.75 points, or 0.31% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 69 points, or 0.28%.

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.
