US Stock Futures Flat as Tech Stocks Drop Ahead of CPI Inflation Report

US stock futures were flat early Friday, February 13, 2026, as investors stayed cautious ahead of the highly anticipated U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation report. Markets turned defensive after a sharp sell-off in technology stocks on Thursday, led by heavy losses in major names like Apple and Nvidia. Traders are now waiting for fresh inflation data to assess where interest rates could head next.
