July 11 (Reuters) - Wall Streetfutures turned positive on Thursday after data showed inflation eased in June, boosting expectations of a central bank rate cut in September, although a slump in shares of Delta Air Lines dragged on other airline stocks as well.
A Labor Department report showed the Consumer Price Index fell 0.1% on a monthly basis in June, versus the 0.1% increase forecast by economists polled by Reuters. Annually, it increased 3%, lower than the expected 3.1% rise. Core inflation measures were also below forecasts.
Traders increased bets on a September rate cut, with interest-rate futures prices showing an about 85% chance of that occurring, versus around a 70% chance before the data.
"The numbers came in much better than expected, which speaks directly to the possibility of a September rate cut. I think it also brings into question the possibility of a July rate cut, although those chances are quite slim," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth.
"The market is really going to be banking on a September rate cut."
Among headlining stocks, Delta Air Lines DAL.N slumped8.8% in premarket trading after forecasting lower-than-expectedprofits in the current quarter, with the carrier citing discounting pressure on the lower end of the market.
United Airlines Holdings UAL.O, American Airlines Group AAL.O, Spirit Airlines SAVE.N, Alaska Air Group ALK.N and JetBlue Airways JBLU.O fell between 0.7% and 4.8%.
Meanwhile, AI-chip favorite Nvidia NVDA.O jumped1.5% after closing at a three-week high on Wednesday. Other megacap stocks also rose after the inflation reading.
Futures tracking the economically sensitive small-cap Russell 2000 RTYcv1 jumped nearly 2%.
The S&P 500 notched its sixth consecutive record close and the Nasdaq its seventh on Wednesday, bolstered by megacap and semiconductor stocks after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell raised expectations ofpolicy easing in September, butreiterated that such adecision would depend on data.
Hopes for interest rates to be lowered, continued economic resilience and exuberance around artificial intelligence-linked stocks have kept Wall Street's main indexes at or near record highs this year.
Investors will also eye Friday's Producer Price Index reading for insight into the inflation trajectory.
Another key test for the rally is thesecond-quarter corporate earnings season, with all eyes onbig banks, which are scheduledto report on Friday.
At 8:42 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis 1YMcv1 were up 69 points, or 0.17%, S&P 500 e-minis EScv1 were up 12.25 points, or 0.22%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis NQcv1 were up 58.75 points, or 0.28%.
Other single movers included PepsiCo PEP.O, which shed2.4% after the soda and snacks maker missed expectations for second-quarter revenue.
Pfizer PFE.N rose 2.9% following the drugmaker's plans to conduct studies in the second half of 2024 on a reworked, once-a-day version of its experimental obesity pill, danuglipron.
Alcoa AA.N rose4.3% after the aluminum producer's preliminary second-quarter results beat estimates.
