updates: US stock futures fell slightly in evening deals on Tuesday following a middling session on Wall Street. Fourth-quarter earnings continued to trickle in, as the season wound to a close.

updates: US stocks were in a holding pattern on Tuesday after a pullback from all-time highs, with retail earnings on tap to occupy investors counting down to a crucial inflation report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 0.5%, while the S&P 500 slipped more than 0.1% in the wake of a retreat from record levels. The Nasdaq Composite gave up earlier gains to trade flat by the afternoon. Stocks have lost momentum as investors regroup after the tumultuous run-up last week and as focus sharpens on the health of the US economy. Looming over investors is the PCE index report due Thursday, a into the Federal Reserve's rate-setting decisions. Given the market's preoccupation with the timing of a rate cut, the PCE print is seen as a potential catalyst for stocks to move in either direction. In the meantime, consumers appear less confident about the US economy. The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index for February came in at a reading of 106.7, down from a revised 110.9 in January. January's preliminary reading was 114, a two-year high for the measure. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected a reading of 115 for February. Investors digested other economic updates on Tuesday, including in home prices and the largest drop in US durable goods orders in four years. By contrast, the price of bitcoin soared to two-year highs, breaking above $57,000 per token, with gains buoyed by a big investment from MicroStrategy. Shares of bitcoin miners and crypto exchanges such as Coinbase rose alongside the leading digital currency. Early morning earnings reports from major retailers provided a window into how the consumer is faring. Macy's shares slipped as it revealed plans to shutter 150 stores in a turnaround bid and reported another quarter of sales. Lowe's downbeat 2024 sales and profit outlook weighed on the home improvement chain's stock. [15c7d250]

updates: US stock index futures were muted in evening deals after Wall Street indexes were pulled off record peaks by a mix of profit-taking and growing anxiety ahead of key inflation readings this week. Investors were also largely on edge over the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates, as a slew of Federal Reserve officials signaled that the central bank was in no hurry to begin loosening policy. The focus this week was largely on PCE price index data, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, which is due on Thursday. Several more Fed officials are also set to speak this week, after their peers largely downplayed expectations of early rate cuts by the central bank in 2024. The fourth-quarter corporate earnings season was now coming to a close, with a series of somewhat mixed showings. Tech stocks were more upbeat. Bitcoin soared to two-year highs. Macy's plans to shutter 150 stores. Lowe's downbeat 2024 sales and profit outlook weighed on the stock. Whirlpool guided to flat sales in North America and doesn't expect top-line improvement until 2026. Housing derivative stocks will need new indications on when the Fed will cut interest rates.

updates: The Federal Reserve may cut interest rates three times this year, but the cuts are unlikely to begin in March as previously hoped. The delay in rate cuts is due to the strong performance of the economy, which could keep upward pressure on inflation.
