Article Context
Stocks looked set to rise on Friday, with investors now confident the Federal Reserve will have scope to cut interest rates in 2026 following a sharp pullback in November inflation. Futures tracking the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 45 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures climbed 0.3%, and contracts tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 were up 0.5%. The Dow and S&P 500 each snapped four-day losing streaks on Thursday, after the delayed November consumer-price index showed there had been a surprise slowdown in inflation last month, which traders took as a sign that the Fed will be able to lower rates next year.
