Stock futures stay on the positive side, looking to extend the bullish gain

The stock market situation continues with a lot of uncertainties as inflation is not under control yet. Recently, the Fed Jerome Powell mentioned the possibility of the U.S economy entering a recession. The Fed chief also mentioned another 75 bps rate hike next month. Quantitative tightening will continue this year which should bring the stock market further lower.

Traders might want to continue to stay cautious for now while waiting until the inflation number is under control.
