U.S. stock index futures fell on Friday as investors digested the data, which showed that the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge rose less than anticipated in November and assessed earnings reports from NIKE (NKE) and FedEx (FDX). Meanwhile, souring sentiment were a growing potential of a government shutdown in the U.S. and Donald Trump's call on the EU to raise its oil and gas purchases from the U.S. or face additional tariffs.
