Stock Market News: Dow Set to Open Higher

Stock futures are rising on Monday as traders look for bargains following the S&P 500’s worst week since 2023.

This week’s focus will be on inflation data and political developments. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the consumer price index for August on Wednesday, followed by producer price data on Thursday.

However, these economic reports might be overshadowed by the presidential debate between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump on Tuesday. The debate will be closely watched for insights into the candidates’ economic policies, particularly their views on inflation and the Federal Reserve, ahead of the central bank’s next rate decision.
