S&P 500 awaits inflation signal

The S&P 500 was set for a cautiously firmer opening on Tuesday, with futures rising before the US cash session. The benchmark had closed Monday at 7,549.94 points, up 173.08 points, or 2.35 percent, from Friday's 7,376.86-point close. The move marked the index's strongest daily gain since April, according to Reuters.

Oil and technology support rebound

Lower oil prices helped improve sentiment as investors assessed whether last week's sharp technology-led sell-off had gone too far. Brent crude fell below 90 US dollars a barrel in early Tuesday trading, while renewed buying lifted several semiconductor stocks in premarket activity. Nvidia rose 1.3 percent after falling to a seven-month low in the previous session, while Nasdaq 100 futures were broadly flat, Reuters reported.

The rebound followed concerns that political developments could slow the construction of artificial-intelligence data centers and weaken demand for related equipment. The recovery has therefore not removed questions about the sustainability of AI investment. CoreWeave's earnings after Tuesday's close were another event investors were expected to monitor for evidence on data-center spending and financing risks.

Inflation data sets next test

October consumer-price data was the main scheduled catalyst for the US session. A Reuters survey cited by the news agency projected a 0.3 percent monthly increase in headline CPI, after a 0.6 percent rise in September. Core CPI was forecast at 2.8 percent year over year, compared with 2.6 percent in September. A hotter reading could threaten the recovery in equities by strengthening expectations for another Federal Reserve rate increase in December.

At 5:01 a.m. Eastern Time, S&P 500 E-mini futures were 12.5 points, or 0.17 percent, higher, according to Reuters. This was a pre-opening indication rather than a cash-index result. The S&P 500 is a float-adjusted, market-capitalization-weighted index covering 500 leading US companies and about 80 percent of available US equity market capitalization, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
