US futures up, inflation still high, putting Fed in a spot

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:13:04 GMT

U.S. futures held steady following a report that inflation eased slightly last month but remains elevated, posing a challenge for the Federal Reserve at a delicate moment for the financial system.Even though prices are rising faster than the Fed wants, some economists expect the central bank to suspend its yearlong streak of interest rate hikes when it meets next week. With the collapse of two large banks since Friday fueling anxiety about other regional banks, the Fed may, at least in the short term, focus more on boosting confidence in the financial system than on its long-term drive to tame inflation.Futures for the Dow were up 0.8% before the bell Tuesday, while futures for the S&P rose 1%.The government said Tuesday that prices increased 0.4% last month, less than January’s 0.5% rise.

(CNN) — Former President Jimmy Carter, who remains in hospice care, has asked Joe Biden to deliver his eulogy following his death, the president said Monday.“He asked me to do his eulogy — excuse me, I shouldn’t say that,” Biden told supporters during remarks at a fundraiser in Rancho Santa Fe, California, according to a pool report.“I spent time with Jimmy Carter, and it’s finally caught up with him.
