Vietnam Insight

US stock futures were little changed on Tuesday as the market returns from a holiday-extended weekend, while investors look ahead to earnings reports from big retail companies. Last week, the Dow shed 0.11%, the S&P 500 lost 0.42% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.34%. Those moves came as hotter-than-expected US inflation data further dented sentiment around early and deep interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve this year.
