Stock Futures Waver Ahead of Fed’s Beige Book Report
The S&P 500 is on track for a muted trading session as market rally loses steam

U.S. stock futures paused Wednesday, suggesting that the major indexes would be muted at the opening bell as investors awaited fresh insights on the economic rebound and rising inflation.

Futures tied to the broad S&P 500 index wavered between gains and losses. The broad market gauge finished Tuesday roughly flat. Nasdaq-100 futures edged down 0.1% on Wednesday, suggesting that technology stocks may dip at the open.

AMC Entertainment Holdings jumped 33% in premarket trading, adding to a 22% rally Tuesday that came as the movie-theater chain said it had sold shares to a hedge fund. Other stocks popular among individual investors were also rallying ahead of the opening bell, with BlackBerry up almost 12%.

In the broader market, the major indexes are hovering close to all-time highs on the back of unprecedented fiscal and monetary support. They are struggling for traction this month as investors look for fresh data to justify the high valuations already commanded by many stocks. On Tuesday, manufacturing data pointed to an expansion in factory activity driven by demand for goods, but also highlighted growing supply bottlenecks.

“It is going to be more and more difficult for markets to surprise to the upside,” said Willem Sels, global chief investment officer at HSBC Private Bank. “The tide that lifted all boats isn’t as strong anymore.”

Companies that are more sensitive to the economy are likely to perform well, such as banks and firms powered by consumer spending, according to Mr. Sels. He also favors stocks that will benefit from government spending on infrastructure and sustainability. Concerns that the Fed may pare back on quantitative easing measures due to inflation pressures are likely to continue prompting unease in markets, he added.

“There will be data points coming out in the coming weeks that will be very strong, and they will point to inflation pressures,” Mr. Sels said. “More and more people will be wondering if the Fed will stick to its position or change, and that will inevitably lead to volatility.”

In bond markets, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note edged lower to 1.606%, from 1.613% Tuesday. Yields drop when bond prices climb.

Investors are also monitoring surging commodity prices, which are feeding into those inflation concerns and weighing on sentiment, said Esther Baroudy, a senior portfolio manager at State Street Global Advisors.

“You have got a very, very big recovery going on and it is pushing up prices everywhere for basic commodities,” she said. “A lot of it is driven by a roaring economy in the U.S. The manufacturing side of the economy, for example, is absolutely on fire.”

Brent crude, the international energy benchmark, rose 1.2% to $71.11 a barrel, extending gains after OPEC forecast a rebound in demand.

The Fed’s beige book report, due at 2 p.m. ET, will offer a view on how businesses are faring and the current economic condition. Investors will be looking for insights into how companies are coping with rebounding consumer demand and supply bottlenecks.

Overseas, the Stoxx Europe 600 edged up 0.2%, on track to notch a fresh closing record.

Major Asian stocks were mixed by the close of trading. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.5%, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 0.6%. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.8%.
