(Sharecast News) - Wall Street futures were mixed ahead of the opening bell on Monday after major indices closed out a winning week, with investors now turning their attention to a heavy slate of earnings and fresh inflation data in the days ahead.
As of 1245 BST, Dow Jones and S&P 500 futures had the indices opening 0.12% and 0.09% fimer, respectively, while Nasdaq-100 futures were 0.13% lower.
The Dow closed 423.31 points higher on Friday after tech stocks led a rebound as investors tried to shake off a volatile week marked by rising Treasury yields, firmer oil prices and a pullback in the AI trade.
Geopolitics remained in focus before the open after Donald Trump said over the weekend that he was considering joining Saudi Arabia in strikes against Tehran‑backed Houthi forces in Yemen, following another deadly attack on Riyadh's international airport.
Trump also announced what he described as an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, though oil prices briefly dipped before reversing higher when Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow had already violated the agreement. West Texas Intermediate was last up 0.97% at $92.74 a barrel, while Brent gained 0.90% to $105.66 a barrel.
Market participants will now be looking towards third‑quarter earnings season, with results from the major US banks set to dominate the week, as Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo were all set to report before the end of the week.
As far as Monday's earnings go, logistics and package delivery business FedEx will publish its latest quarterly earnings figures after the close.
While no major data points were scheduled for release on Monday, September's consumer and producer price indexes will be released on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
