S&P 500 Futures Flat as Traders Await Inflation Data and Monitor Oil Prices

S&P 500 futures show little movement as the market braces for crucial inflation data release, which could influence trading strategies ahead of the upcoming Federal Reserve meetings. The recent drop in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which fell over 700 points, marks its lowest close since 2026, raising concerns about market stability. Key figures suggest increased volatility with oil prices under scrutiny amid geopolitical tensions in Iran. Investors are gauging the potential impact on broader market sentiment based on these developments.
