NEW YORK (AP) — Stock futures are trading in a tight range as investors put the market’s latest rally on hold before key reports on unemployment and inflation.
There is more movement in the currency and gold markets Thursday.
Gold hit another record high. The dollar fell to a 15-year low against the yen and touched its lowest level against the euro since January.
Traders are sending the dollar lower because of expectations the Federal Reserve will start buying government bonds to try to stimulate the sluggish economy.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 8, or 0.1 percent, at 11,052. S&P 500 futures are up 1, or 0.1 percent, at 1,175. Nasdaq 100 futures are up 1, or less than 0.1 percent, at 2,057.
