At the Open: Investors patiently awaiting a deluge of economic updates over the next two sessions left equity futures little changed Tuesday morning. December retail sales data headlines today’s slate of reports, and results from the U.S. Census Bureau indicated retail sales stalled to end 2025, lifting Treasuries as expectations for the Federal Reserve to resume its easing campaign this year ticked higher. Weekly employment change data from ADP bested the prior print; while looking ahead, the delayed January payrolls report will take center stage Wednesday morning. Otherwise, Wall Street chatter was little changed with focus remaining on positive corporate takeaways, hyperscaler spending, and recent rotation dynamics.
