U.S. stock index futures were little changed during overnight trading on Thursday.
Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 36 points. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.11%, while Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.12%.
The gains come amid a strong start to earnings season. Eight members of the S&P 500 posted quarterly results on Thursday morning, with each one topping Wall Street's expectations. Financial heavyweights Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup were among the names that reported. Goldman Sachs, J.B. Hunt and PNC Financial are among the names that will report quarterly results on Friday.
Thursday's gains came despite high high inflation readings, which some have warned could derail the economic recovery. The consumer price index jumped 0.4% in September and 5.4% year over year, according to data from the Labor Department.
