Stock futures inch higher as Wall Street braces for final trading day of February: Live updates

Tuesday marks the final trading day of February. Despite a solid start to the year, all the major indexes are on pace for their second negative month in three. As of Monday's close, the Dow is down 3.5% for the month and the only major index negative for the year. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are positive in 2023, but down 2.3% and 1%, respectively, in February.

February "will go down in history as the month where the market pulled back to digest a very strong rally you saw at the end of December into most of January," said Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments. "This is a pullback month, it's a rest month, and that's good as long as support is defended and support holds, which is last week's low."

More retail earnings reports offering clues into the health of the consumer are slated for Tuesday, including results from Target, AutoZone, Rivian Automotive, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and AMC Entertainment. On the economic front, investors also await consumer confidence data, wholesale inventories, Chicago PMI and the S&P Case-Shiller home prices index.
