Bottom Line
Futures are pricing in a constructive session ahead of CPI, with oil’s sharp pullback (-3.5%) doing the VIX’s work for it (-10.8%). Kroger’s guidance cut is the one large-cap wrinkle in an otherwise quiet Friday earnings slate — watch for read-through to other grocery/retail names (Albertsons, Walmart, Target) given the ongoing DOJ beef-pricing probe backdrop. Geopolitical feed stays moderate (top item LVL 5/10, Myanmar drone strike) with no single catalyst large enough to override the macro data calendar today. Defense names mixed — LMT/NOC/GD grinding higher, PLTR down over 2% on no clear headline.
