Feb 13 (Reuters) -

Wall Street's main indexes were on track to open slightly

higher on Thursday as investors parsed the latest producer

prices data, while the prospect of Russia-Ukraine peace talks

spurred some risk-taking.

The

producer price index

for final demand rose 0.4% last month after an upwardly

revised 0.5% gain in December, the Labor Department's Bureau of

Labor Statistics said.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PPI rising

0.3%. In the 12 months through January, the PPI advanced 3.5%

after increasing 3.3% in December.

"The revisions indicated higher inflation in the past,

which make today's unexpectedly high inflation number look small

in comparison," said Kim Forrest, chief investment officer at

Bokeh Capital Partners.

Yields across government bonds also turned lower after

the data, with the yield on the 10-year note last at

4.56%.

Before the report, traders of futures contracts that

settle to the federal funds rate

placed

close to a 60% chance that the Fed would still be on hold

in July, although that chance fell to about 52% after the data.

Separately, data showed the number of Americans filing

new applications for unemployment benefits was 213,000 for the

week ended February 8, compared with an estimate of 215,000,

according to economists polled by Reuters.

A January consumer price index reading on Wednesday showed

the highest increase in prices in nearly a year-and-a-half,

underscoring the U.S. Federal Reserve's messaging that it was in

no rush to resume cutting interest rates anytime soon.

The last reading of the personal consumption expenditures

price index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, showed the

fastest rise in months. Persistent signs of rising inflation

could mean the central bank's policymakers will be cautious

about cutting rates at all this year.

Meanwhile, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin and

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had expressed a desire

for peace in separate phone conversations with him on Wednesday.

He also said in a post on his Truth Social social media

platform that he will announce tariffs at 1 p.m.

At 08:53 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 79 points, or

0.18%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 7.25 points, or 0.12%,

and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 53.75 points, or 0.25%.

Megacap were mixed, although Tesla outperformed

with an 3.1% rise.

Trade Desk ( TTD ) dropped 29.8% after the ad tech firm

forecast its first-quarter revenue below analysts' estimates.

Reddit ( RDDT ) shed 7.4% after the social media platform

missed market estimates for daily active unique visitors in the

fourth quarter.

Cisco Systems ( CSCO ) added 5.9% after the

network-equipment maker raised its annual revenue forecast,

while Robinhood Markets ( HOOD ) jumped 12.2% after the trading

platform beat fourth-quarter profit expectations.

Deere fell 5% after the world's largest

farm-equipment maker's quarterly revenue slumped 35% and missed

analysts' expectations.
