US open: Stocks little changed as investors await key inflation figures

Wall Street trading got off to a somewhat muted start on Monday as market participants looked ahead to key inflation data due out later in the week.

Source: Sharecast

As of 1500 BST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.06% at 44,150.63, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.02% to 6,391.03 and the Nasdaq Composite came out of the gate 0.05% firmer at 21,461.62.

The Dow opened 24.98 points lower on Monday, taking a small bite out of gains recorded in the previous session.

All eyes will be on this week's inflation data, with key readings set to test the resilience of major indices that continue to hover near record highs. Tuesday's consumer price index will be first up, while Thursday's producer price index will follow, both of which could prove pivotal in shaping expectations around interest rate policy ahead of the Federal Reserve's September meeting.

A stronger-than-expected set of figures could dampen sentiment, particularly if they reignite concerns over persistent price pressures. The data will also serve as a precursor to the Fed's annual Jackson Hole symposium later this month, where policymakers are widely expected to signal their next move on rates.

Despite major indices sitting near all-time high, stocks were kept in check early on Monday after a Financial Times report said chipmakers Nvidia and AMD had agreed to give a portion of revenues from certain chips sold in China in exchange for export licenses.

No major corporate earnings or data points were scheduled for release on Monday.
