U.S. stock futures dropped following Thursday's rally, with the Trump administration pushing for the firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook before the upcoming interest rate-setting meeting. The Dow closed above 46,000 points for the first time, despite negative economic data showing a 2.9% inflation rate in August and a spike in weekly jobless claims to 263,000. The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.04%, the two-year bond at 3.56%, and the FedWatch tool projected a 100% chance of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates. Major indices like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 saw a decline in futures. Sectors like consumer discretionary, healthcare, and materials gained, while energy stocks dropped slightly. The Dow Jones closed 617 points lower at 46,108.00. Kroger Co. reported strong earnings, but The Lovesac Co. fell by 15% after issuing downgraded guidance. Pre-market ETF trends reflected mixed performance with SPY down 0.10% and QQQ up by 0.0068%.
