18.08.202513:38:22UTC+00US Stocks Remain Muted

U.S. stocks exhibited minimal fluctuations on Monday as investors awaited new catalysts for the week and potential insights into the Federal Reserve's monetary policy stance. The S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones remained relatively stable, hovering close to the record highs reached last week. Upcoming minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, along with the Jackson Hole Symposium this week, are anticipated to provide guidance on future interest rate directions. Investors have been buoyed by expectations of several Federal Reserve rate cuts this year, driven by concerns over a weakening labor market and optimism for easing inflationary pressures, following a Consumer Price Index (CPI) report that did not indicate adverse effects from tariffs. Semiconductor manufacturers and companies with AI-related investments saw gains, with Nvidia rising 0.5%, maintaining its position near record levels despite export restrictions imposed by President Trump. Meanwhile, major retail companies showed mixed performance ahead of their forthcoming earnings announcements. In the geopolitical arena, European Union leaders and Ukrainian President Zelensky were set to convene following President Trump's meeting with Russian President Putin over the weekend.
