Stock Futures Edge Up as Investors Digest Spending, Jobless Data

U.S. stock futures and Treasury yields remained higher after figures showed that consumer-spending growth cooled last month. 

Futures for the S&P 500 gained 0.1% Thursday. The index climbed for a second day Wednesday as strong economic data helped ease investors’ concerns about the risks posed by Covid-19 and inflation. Contracts for the tech-focused Nasdaq-100 were flat Thursday and futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%.
