Following a strong week for key U.S. indices, U.S. stock futures were neutral on Sunday evening as market participants prepared for the busiest week of corporate earnings. The Federal Reserve's interest rate announcement on Wednesday is expected to contain additional rate increases.


At 7:10pm ET (11:10pm GMT), Dow Jones Futures and S&P 500 Futures were down 0.1 percent, while Nasdaq 100 Futures were up 0.1 percent.


After concluding its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday, it is widely anticipated that the Federal Reserve will announce a 75 basis point rate hike the following week. Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META), 3M Company (NYSE:MMM), Boeing Co (NYSE:BA), Forward Industries Inc (NASDAQ:FORD), and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) are also slated to report quarterly results.


On the statistics front, the GDP estimate for the second quarter is expected to show growth of 0.4%, reversing the decline of 1.6% in the previous quarter. In addition, CB consumer sentiment, new and pending home sales, durable goods orders, and the Chicago, Dallas, Richmond, and Kansas Fed Manufacturing indexes will be monitored closely.
