"US stocks are poised to resume their rally at record highs as traders bet that data on Friday will show signs of strain on US consumers, bolstering the case for interest rate cuts.
Contracts for the S&P 500 rose 0.2% following back-to-back closes at all-time highs earlier this week. Intel Corp. advanced around 3% in premarket trading on a report that the US government may buy a stake in the struggling chipmaker.

Economists expect government data on Friday to show a solid increase in July retail sales, driven by incentives that boosted vehicle purchases and a surge in online spending during Amazon’s Prime Day event. However, underlying fundamentals are likely soft, with many consumers avoiding goods marked up by tariffs, according to Bloomberg Intelligence.
