U.S. stock index futures slightly contracted on Monday, in anticipation of significant upcoming events in the nation’s financial landscape. Investors are particularly tuned in to a major inflation reading, which is expected to provide insights into the current state of the U.S. economy amidst rising inflation concerns. Furthermore, commentary from Federal Reserve policymakers later in the same week is anticipated to offer critical perspective on the trajectory of economic recovery and potential alterations to monetary policy.
Meanwhile, the retail sector has come under the spotlight as the holiday shopping season is in full swing. With the advent of Cyber Monday, one of the most awaited shopping events after Thanksgiving, virtual shoppers are expected to actively participate in the quest for deals, thereby positively influencing retail stocks. The observance of shopping trends during this period is crucial as it provides a performance analysis for the retail industry, and the overall consumer sentiment, at the end of an eventful year marked by supply chain disruptions and rising inflation.
