According to Jinshi, U.S. stock index futures rose as investors turned their attention from the overnight presidential debate to the upcoming U.S. inflation data, which may strengthen the Fed's case for a rate cut. S&P 500 futures rose 0.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.4%, suggesting that the rally in U.S. stocks since this week will continue, with both indexes expected to strengthen for the third consecutive quarter. The market expects that weaker economic growth will provide the Federal Reserve with more room to cut interest rates this year. Mabrouk Chetouane, head of global market strategy at Natixis Global Asset Management, said: "The fundamental question behind the PCE data is whether there will be at least one rate cut this year. If developments are beyond the expectations of the market and the Federal Reserve, then both the stock market and the bond market will face problems."
