Aug 13 (Reuters) - Wall Street was set for a higher open on Tuesday after producer prices data showed abating inflation pressures, keeping the Federal Reserve on track to cut rates in September, while Starbucks soared after appointing Chipotle's Brian Niccol as CEO.
Stocks wobbled on Monday with the S&P 500 .SPX nearly flat and the Nasdaq .IXIC eking out modest gains, following a turbulent week marked by mixed economic reports and a rate hike by Japan's central bank.
U.S. producer pricesincreased less than expected in July as a rise in the cost of goods was tempered by cheaper services, indicating that inflation continued to moderate. In the 12 months through July, the PPI increased 2.2% after climbing 2.7% in June.
"This creates more flexibility for the Fed to lower rates later this year without a doubt and that's what driving the market response right now," said Dave Grecsek, managing director in investment strategy and research at Aspiriant.
Yield on the 10-year Treasury note US10YT=RR and on the 2-year note US2YT=RR ticked lower after the data, while traders' bets of a 50-basis-point rate cut increased to over 50% after the report, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
Markets expect the interest rates to be reduced by a total of 100 basis points by the end of 2024. 0#FEDWATCH
