July 31, 2026 S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq 100 Futures Gain Amid Cooler June PCE Inflation Data and Slower-Than-Expected Q2 GDP—Apple, Amazon, Coinbase in Focus
U.S. stock futures rose on Friday, as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 indices advanced, following Thursday’s higher close.
On Thursday, cooler June PCE inflation data and softer-than-expected second-quarter GDP reinforced expectations that inflation pressures may be easing after the Fed left rates unchanged at its July meeting.
Heightened security concerns around Egypt’s Suez Canal—amplified by a recent drone attack near Damietta—could increase war-risk insurance premiums, raise shipping costs and, if disruptions persist, add to inflationary pressures.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.65%, and the two-year bond was at 4.24%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool’s projections show markets pricing a 63% likelihood of the Federal Reserve hiking the current interest rates during its September meeting.

U.S. stock futures were higher on Thursday, as the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices rose, following Wednesday’s lower close.
U.S. Central Command, or CENTCOM, initiated airstrikes against targets in Iran on Wednesday evening following attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. personnel in the Middle East. U.S. Central Command described the action on X, stating, “The strikes are a powerful response to yesterday’s attempted Iranian attacks on U.S. forces based in the Middle East.”

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.69%, and the two-year bond was at 4.27%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool’s projections show markets pricing a 65.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve hiking the current interest rates during its September meeting.
