US stock futures traded flat as Wall Street prepared for fresh earnings and economic data amid a blockbuster week poised to shake markets.

Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) held steady. Futures attached to the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F) and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) ticked up 0.1%.

On Monday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq eked out record highs amid an otherwise subdued trading session as Wall Street digested a new trade deal between the US and EU.

Wall Street heats up Tuesday. Boeing (BA) and Starbucks (SBUX) are set to report earnings with investors eager for signs of turnarounds underway, while Spotify (SPOT) is expected to issue results that feature cautious guidance. Fresh data on job openings from the Labor Department is also set to land, along with a new reading of the Conference Board’s consumer-confidence index.

Later in the week, investors are bracing for market-moving decisions and results, including the Federal Reserve’s next move on interest rates, the July jobs report, and earnings from tech giants Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Meta (META).

Finally, President Trump’s deadline for trading partners to strike deals or else face blanket tariff rates arrives Friday amid a new wave of talks between the US and China.
