The Dow and the S&P 500 were set to open at record highs on Friday after Walt Disney's forecast-beating results, while signs of cooling inflation and a strong recovery in corporate earnings kept the indexes on track for a second straight week of gains.

"What we know about inflation at this point is that it remains relatively high, but it doesn't appear to be getting a lot worse at the moment," said Randy Frederick, managing director of trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
