TradingKey - As of Thursday (August 6) ET, futures for the three major US stock indices showed mixed performance in pre-market trading. Dow and S&P 500 futures edged higher, while Nasdaq 100 futures remained under pressure as the market continued to digest pullback pressures following AI capital expenditures, chip stock valuations, and earnings reports in the memory sector. Investors are also awaiting data on initial jobless claims, Q2 non-farm productivity, and unit labor costs to assess the latest shifts in US employment and inflationary pressures.
