【US Pre-Market】Retail Sales Data Ahead as Applied Materials Drops Over 5%, SanDisk Rises Over 7%
TradingKey - On Friday, August 14, Eastern Time, U.S. stock index futures were mixed in pre-market trading as the market shifted into a wait-and-see stance after the S&P 500 set another record closing high. U.S. PPI unexpectedly came in flat for July, further easing rate hike concerns; however, investors remain focused on today's release of July retail sales and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index to gauge whether U.S. consumer resilience is sufficient to support elevated stock valuations.
