Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures waver as investors await retail data after rate-cut bets cool
US stock futures traded mixed as Wall Street tempered its rate-cut hopes and awaited July's retail sales report. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) rose around 0.3%. Futures attached to the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) flatlined. Futures attached to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) fell about 0.2%. Stocks wobbled on Thursday, ending a two-day rally sparked by investor confidence that an interest rate cut in September was nearly certain. Doubts about a significant cut at the Fed's next policy meeting crept in after July's Producer Price Index (PPI) came in hotter than expected. After the bell, Intel (INTC) shares jumped on news that the US government is considering taking a stake in the company. Trump met with Intel's CEO on Monday after calling on him to resign the previous week. UnitedHealth (UNH) stock also soared after a regulatory filing showed Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought 5 million shares in the company. Finally, Applied Materials (AMAT) dove after its earnings report included a downbeat forecast that spooked investors. On Friday, Wall Street will be watching the release of retail sales data. The results will offer clues as to whether Trump's tariffs are impacting consumer spending habits.

Taylor Swift Breaks A Record Previously Held By Trump, And She Did It In Just An Hour
We're sure there will be bad blood. Taylor Swift has broken a record previously held by President Donald Trump. On Wednesday, the Grammy winner appeared on the 'New Heights' podcast hand-in-hand with her boyfriend and co-host Travis Kelce, as his older brother, Jason Kelce, interviewed Swift for a little over two hours. The Daily Beast reports that 1.3 million viewers tuned to watch the podcast episode on YouTube within the first hour that it was online. The outlet notes that reps for the 'Shake It Off' singer confirmed the number. The figure trumps the record previously held by Trump. His appearance on the 'Joe Rogan Experience' in October 2024 saw 800,000 people tune in within the first hour, according to CNN data analyst Harry Enten. CNN host Kate Bolduan also noted Wednesday the episode is 'already on track to become one of the most watched podcasts of all time.' Trump will likely be pretty peeved about Swift mopping him up. The president expressed hostility towards the 'Blank Space' singer after she publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the build-up to the 2024 presidential election. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' he wrote in all caps on his Truth Social platform at the time. In May, the president proved he was no Swiftie yet again when he published another post on Truth Social that read: 'Has anyone noticed that, since I said 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,' she's no longer 'HOT?'' We suppose that at least 1.3 million people think otherwise.
