Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq futures jump as key inflation data comes in cool

US stock futures mostly pointed higher Tuesday as Wall Street digested cooler-than-expected inflation data and awaited an update on consumer prices. Futures tied to the S&P 500 were up 0.6%, while those on the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose 0.9%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 0.3%. US producer prices, often a signal for where consumer prices are heading, rose just 0.1% month-over-month in July, lower than economist forecasts. Year-over-year, the Producer Price Index rose 2.

Wall Street is coming off an unusually boring day after more than a week of volatility. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Monday continued slowly building back toward the highs the indexes saw before a three-day sell-off wiped out a decent chunk of those year-to-date gains. Home Depot was the most significant name on the earnings docket Tuesday. The home-improvement retailer's shares fell after it cut its outlook on comparable same-store sales for the rest of the year.
