"US Stock Futures Flat as Dow Extends Losing Streak Amid Rising Bond Yields and Higher Import Prices"

U.S. stock futures remained steady after the Dow's third consecutive day of losses, with Discover shares dropping 9% in after-hours trading due to a higher net charge-off rate. Wall Street closed lower as Treasury yields rose, and concerns about a strong December retail sales report potentially leading to fewer rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Investors are awaiting weekly jobless claims, housing starts, and building permits data, as well as a speech from Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic. Additionally, companies such as Discover Financial Services, Alcoa, and H.B. Fuller reported their fourth-quarter results, impacting stock movements in after-hours trading.
