Mixed Futures, Geopolitical Tensions Ahead of Key Economic Data

U.S. stock futures were mixed on Monday, as the Dow Jones index slipped and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices rose.

The mix in futures came after President Donald Trump noted that the U.S. is 'only semi-negotiating' with Iran, amid a geopolitical standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.

Investors will be tracking key economic data this week, including July inflation and consumer spending updates, which could provide insight into whether consumer resilience can withstand mounting pressures.
