Investing.com – U.S. stock futures were mixed on Tuesday after May retail sales data was weaker than economists expected, as investors continued to balance the weaker economic data with the possibility of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut later this year.

Here are some of the biggest movers of US stocks today:

  • Cheg (NYSE:) stock rose 13% after the education technology group announced plans to cut 23% of its global workforce as part of a broader restructuring drive.

  • Lennar (New York Stock Exchange 🙂 (LEN) The stock fell 2.9% after the homebuilder forecast third-quarter home deliveries below expectations, a sign that demand for new homes is expected to remain sluggish as mortgage rates hover at their highest level in two decades.
