Key Series
What These Actually Move
CPI (inflation) — a hotter-than-expected print usually pressures index futures lower, since it raises odds the Fed stays restrictive longer.
Unemployment rate — a weak jobs report can cut both ways: bad for growth expectations, but sometimes rallies indices on hopes of rate cuts.
Fed funds rate — the base cost of money. Changes (or even just changed expectations) ripple through every asset class.
10-Year Treasury yield — rising yields often pressure growth-heavy indices like the Nasdaq, since future earnings get discounted more heavily.
