July 12 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set for a subdued open on Friday as investors digested mixed results from big banks, while slightly hotter-than-expected producer price numbers reined in bets that the Federal Reserve would begin easing interest rates in September.
JPMorgan Chase's JPM.N second-quarter profit increased on a boost from rising investment banking fees and an $8 billion accounting gain from a share exchange deal with Visa V.N. However, shares of the world's largest bank edged0.2% lower in choppy premarket trading.
Wells Fargo WFC.Nslid 5.5% as the lender missed estimates forquarterly interest income, while Citigroup C.N rose2.8% after posting a surge ininvestment banking revenue and gains in its services division.
The results come against a backdrop of expectations that some of the largest U.S. banks would report weaker second-quarter profits due to lower interest payments and higher provisions for deteriorating loans.
As the S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq.IXIC scale new peaks, investors are hoping for strong profit growth from companies beyond heavyweight tech names such as Nvidia NVDA.O, so that the U.S. stocks rally can broaden out.
"Big bank earnings, big tech earnings and consumer company earnings will be the most important to watch, as these companies are highly levered to the strength of the economy," said Clark Bellin, president and chief investment officer, Bellwether Wealth.
Analysts, on average, expect earnings for S&P 500 firms to grow by 10.1% during the quarter from a year ago, compared with a 2.8% decline in the same period in 2023, according to LSEG IBES data. Financial firms are likely to post a profit growth of 6.7%.
After data showed asurprise fall in U.S. consumer prices on Thursday, solidifyingbets on aSeptember rate cut, the latest report showed producer prices rose 0.2% on a monthly basis in June, compared to an expectation of a 0.1% rise. Annually, it rose 2.6%, versus an estimated 2.3% rise.
"Friday's stronger-than-expected PPI is an important reminder that inflation is still here and that the inflation data can be volatile," Bellin said.
Traders still seea 93% chance of a rate cut in September, up from 72% a week ago, according to CMEGroup's FedWatch tool.
