Stock futures are slightly higher ahead of several economic data points. Investors are waiting on the highly anticipated speech from Fed Chair Janet Yellen at the Jackson Hole Symposium, but before that they will be watching reports on the trade balance, GDP, personal consumption, and consumer confidence. In early pre-market trading, Dow futures are 19 points above fair value, Nasdaq futures are 4 points above fair value and S&P futures are 3 points above fair value.
