The Morning Bull - US Market Morning Update Friday, Sep, 18 2026 US stock futures are higher this morning, with S&P 500 contracts up about 0.8% and Nasdaq 100 futures gaining close to 1%.

That rate affects everything from credit card bills to mortgage repayments. At the same time, August retail sales rose 1.2%, and the cost of imported goods climbed 0.7%. The key question for investors now is whether higher rates slow the economy enough to pressure banks and housing, or if resilient demand keeps consumer focused sectors in the spotlight.
