The S&P 500 futures are down three points and are trading 0.1% below fair value, the Nasdaq 100 futures are down 20 points and are trading 0.2% below fair value, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 19 points and are trading 0.1% below fair value.
The stock market is poised for a slightly lower open on the final day of this winning week that propelled major indices to record highs. The lower open reflects some normal cooling off after the big FOMC-fueled rally this week.

Treasury yields are moving lower. The 10-yr note yield is down three basis points to 4.24% and the 2-yr note yield is down two basis points to 4.61%.
WTI crude oil futures are up 0.3% to $81.27/bbl; natural gas futures are down 1.2% to $1.81/mmbtu; copper futures are down 1.4% to $4.00/lb.
There is no U.S. economic data of note today.
