U.S. equity futures fell on Sunday evening as investors braced for key inflation data, after almost completely reversing its violent market rout last week.

Market Reports

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 48 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.08% and Nasdaq 100 futures inched lower by 0.05%.

Market Recovery and Possible Turbulence

On Friday, all of the major averages rose to end the week but stopped just shy of a full recovery. The Dow finished the week lower by 0.6%, while the S&P 500 ended down just 0.04% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite finished with a 0.18% loss.

Expert Analysis

"Emotions are high and market swings tend to cluster together, so I wouldn’t be shocked if we get another week of turbulence," said Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management. "People are beginning to brace for a recession even though a crisis hasn’t materialized. Fear often works in our favor as stock market investors."

Looking Ahead

Investors this week are hoping to get a better sense of the state of the economy after recent fears of a job market slowdown spooked traders and rocked the market. Key reports on the producer price index, consumer price index, and retail sales are expected to provide more clarity on economic trends.

Retail Sector Focus

"Another round of good [inflation] data could help calm fears that the Fed is potentially losing the plot," Cox said. "Retail sales and retailer earnings may show that fears of a job market slowdown are overblown." Home Depot and Walmart are among the companies reporting earnings this week, which could provide further insights into consumer spending trends.
