Investor risk appetite seemed to moderate early Thursday, with U.S. stock futures dipping and longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields edging down in early trading as attention turned to Friday’s much-anticipated consumer price inflation report, which is expected to show annual inflation picking up its pace, putting more pressure on the Fed to roll back stimulus faster.
By 6:38 a.m. New York time on Dec. 9, Dow Jones futures were down 0.31 percent, Nasdaq futures fell 0.44 percent, and S&P 500 futures dropped 0.32 percent.
