Stock index futures in the United States were little changed on Thursday as investors processed an inflation reading that aligned with forecasts. The Commerce Department reported that the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) index—the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation—increased 2.8% on an annual basis in February, meeting the expectations of economists polled by Reuters.
