US stock futures edged lower on Monday as investors braced for a heavy slate of corporate earnings and key economic data that could shape expectations for Federal Reserve policy. Dow and S&P 500 futures each slipped about 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.2%. Major US banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs, are scheduled to report results this week, providing insight into borrowing, dealmaking, and trading activities. Other notable companies scheduled to release earnings include Bank of New York Mellon, Delta Air Lines, BlackRock, and PNC Financial. On the macro front, markets will closely watch Tuesday’s inflation report, with any upside surprise potentially complicating the Fed’s rate-cutting trajectory.
