US stock futures were flat on Monday as investors awaited this week’s inflation readings that could influence the interest rate outlook. The consumer price index is due Tuesday, followed by the producer price index on Thursday. The figures come ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming on Aug. 21-23, which is expected to help set the tone for the September policy meeting. Last week, the Dow gained 1.35%, the S&P 500 climbed 2.43%, and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 3.87%, driven by strong corporate earnings and resilient market sentiment despite President Donald Trump’s sweeping retaliatory tariffs. Growing expectations for a Fed rate cut in September, with a possible follow-up in December, also fueled bullish momentum.
