Markets Mixed as Post-Election Rally Falters Amid Inflation Concerns

U.S. stock futures showed little movement as the postelection rally, sparked by Donald Trump's victory, appeared to stall. The Dow and S&P 500 closed near flat, while the Nasdaq Composite fell slightly. Investors are assessing whether the rally can continue amid ongoing inflation concerns, with the October consumer price index indicating persistent inflation challenges. Key economic data, including the producer price index and retail sales report, are expected soon, alongside Fed Chair Jerome Powell's upcoming speech. Notably, CNH Industrial shares surged after David Einhorn's investment announcement.
