US Equity Futures Flat Ahead of Delayed Q3 GDP Report

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 12/23/25 08:09 AM EST

08:09 AM EST, 12/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were treading water before the opening bell on Tuesday as investors awaited delayed Q3 economic data that could impact markets.

In premarket trading, Dow Jones futures, Nasdaq futures, and S&P 500 futures were all flat to slightly lower.

Trading activity was subdued ahead of a shortened trading day on Wednesday and market closure on Christmas.

Oil prices edged up slightly with West Texas Intermediate crude up 0.2% to $58.10 per barrel and Brent Crude up 0.2% to $62.12 after US President Donald Trump eased Venezuela war jitters in a speech late Monday focused on a news class of warships named after himself instead of the oil-rich South American country.

Delayed Q3 GDP numbers, scheduled to be released before the opening bell, are expected to come in at a robust 3.2% percent thanks to an increase in net exports.

October numbers on durable goods orders are also expected to be released before the bell, with forecasts showing a decrease of as much as 4.5%. The Federal Reserve's report on November industrial production is expected to show a slight increase of 0.1%.

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.
