Dow Futures Are Unchanged Ahead Of The Holiday And Earnings Seasons

Futures for U.S. equities were trading higher on Sunday evening, as key benchmark averages finished the week at monthly highs and investors moved into riskier assets in response to somewhat weaker CPI data from the previous week.

The markets will be closed on Monday because of a holiday.

Dow Jones Futures were trading flat at 6:30pm ET (11:30pm GMT), while S&P 500 Futures and Nasdaq 100 Futures each fell 0.1%.

In extended trading, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc (NASDAQ:BBBY) lost 5.7%, Arrival Vault USA Inc (NASDAQ:ARVL) declined 4.6%, and Redhill Biopharma Ltd (NASDAQ:RDHL) fell 3.8%.

Investors will keenly scrutinize the upcoming figures on producer prices, industrial production, retail sales, construction permits, housing starts, existing home sales, and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index.

On the earnings front, market players will closely monitor Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS), Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFL), Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE:SCHW), and Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE:KMI).

On the bond markets, 10-Year U.S. interest rates were 3.498%.
