S&P 500 futures are flat after Wall Street notches four-day winning streak: Live updates

U.S. S&P 500 futures were flat Wednesday night after the broad market index notched a fourth-straight positive day. Traders also digested a Salesforce earnings beat after hours.

Futures for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures oscillated near the flat line. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 44 points, or 0.1%.

Salesforce advanced more than 5% in extended trading after the software company announced fiscal second-quarter results and third-quarter guidance Wednesday that exceeded analysts’ expectations. Those gains helped buoy Dow futures.

Investors are coming off a positive session for the major averages Wednesday, with the S&P 500 ending the day 0.38% higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 37.57 points, or 0.11%. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.54%. It was the fourth winning day in a row for the three major averages.

These gains helped the major indexes trim their monthly losses. The Dow and S&P 500 are each lower by more than 1% in August, while the Nasdaq is off by over 2%.

Investors digested weaker-than-expected payrolls data and annual gross domestic product growth forecast that nevertheless suggested the Federal Reserve could soon be done hiking rates, boosting equities.

“If we think about the Fed, they’re looking at growth, they’re looking at jobs and inflation. And if all three are going in their direction, meaning in their favor, then you can make a case that the Fed is probably done with tightening,” Hightower’s Stephanie Link said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Wednesday.

Earnings season continues to wind down Thursday. Dollar General is set to report before the open. Broadcom and Lululemon Athletica posts results after the close.

Traders are also awaiting July personal consumption expenditures data, an inflation gauge closely watched by the Fed. Economists polled by Dow Jones are expecting a year-over-year rise of 4.2% last month, up slightly from a 4.1% increase the previous month. Weekly jobless claims data will also be out Thursday morning.
