Investing.com — U.S. stocks wobbled early on Monday as investors anticipate earnings reports from major retailers and retail sales data for July that could shed more light on the health of the American consumer.<\/p>\n

At 11:21 ET (15:21 GMT), the was down 7 points or less than 0.1%, while the was up 0.3% and the was up 0.5%.<\/p>\n

The main equities indices have had a tricky start to August, with the broad-based S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite both falling last week, the Nasdaq\u2019s first two-week losing streak of the year.<\/p>\n

The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, posted small gains last week, its fourth positive week in five.<\/p>\n

Fed minutes to offer monetary policy clues<\/strong><\/h2>\n

at the end of last week came in a touch stronger than expected, causing Treasury yields to rise as investors factored in the possibility of the continuing to tighten monetary policy in September.<\/p>\n

However, this is not the prevailing wisdom, with Goldman Sachs speaking for many when it expects the central bank to pause in September and then declare in November that a moderation in inflation means that a final hike would be “unnecessary.”<\/p>\n

The influential investment bank then sees the Fed starting to cut interest rates again by the end of next June, rolling out gradual reductions in borrowing costs every quarter after that month.<\/p>\n

The Fed releases the from its July policy meeting on Wednesday, which should help investors gauge the appetite for further rate increases ahead of its annual get-together in , Wyoming at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Major retailers set to release earnings<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ahead of this, Tuesday sees the release of the for July, a gauge into the health of consumer spending as investors await quarterly earnings from a number of the country\u2019s big retailers.<\/p>\n

Home Depot <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) is due to release results on Tuesday, Target <\/span><\/span> (NYSE:) on Wednesday and Walmart (NYSE:) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The second quarter earnings season is winding down with S&P 500 results presenting a mixed picture – companies are beating analysts’ profit expectations at the highest rate in nearly two years even as revenue beats dropped to the lowest since early 2020.<\/p>\n

Tesla cuts prices in China<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Elsewhere, Tesla (NASDAQ:) has cut prices in China for two of its Model Y model, as the electric car maker attempts to combat increased competition and entice customers wary of making big purchases in an uncertain economy. Tesla shares fell 1.8%.<\/p>\n

Sales of Tesla cars made in China dropped by 31% month-on-month in July, the first decline since December.<\/p>\n

Crude retreats as dollar rises<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oil prices retreated Monday, as concerns about China\u2019s faltering economic recovery as well as a stronger dollar prompted profit-taking after seven weeks of gains on tightening supply from OPEC+ output cuts.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s U.S. release saw the climb to a five-week high, which hurts demand for crude as it makes the commodity more expensive for international buyers.<\/p>\n
