stock index futures indicated a broadly lower open on Friday as traders looked towards the release of a set of data that will provide one last look at the mood of consumers before Federal Reserve officials meet next week to consider the first rate hike in nine years.

Dow futures briefly fell about 150 points — and held about 130 points lower — ahead of the release of some key data points.

Retail sales and PPI are due at 8:30 a.m. ET, with business inventories and consumer sentiment scheduled for release at 10:00 a.m.
