U.S. stock futures were swinging between gains and losses on Friday following Thursday’s lower close. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.

Investors are awaiting the January inflation print as experts like Tom Lee estimate the core CPI year-over-year to drop to 2.52%—matching the 2017-2019 average and signaling a return to pre-COVID inflation.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.12%, and the two-year bond was at 3.47%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 92.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in premarket on Friday. The SPY was up 0.069% at $681.74, while the QQQ advanced 0.16% to $601.61.
