The latter two snapped three-week losing streaks, while the Dow fell a second straight week.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s driving markets?<\/h2>\n<p>Investors were set to pick up where they left off Friday, when stocks gained after Powell said  the jury was still out on whether inflation and a strong U.S. economy needed to be tempered, but that monetary policy would proceed cautiously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the end, it did not change the needle much,\u201d said Allan von Mehren, chief analyst at Dankse Bank, in a note to clients. \u201cThose believing in a Fed pivot early next year still have arguments to do so, and vice versa. Hence, equities finally rose with U.S. equities particularly strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore importantly, Powell did not say anything to hinder investor appetite for large cap growth stocks. Consumer discretionary and tech outperformed, large cap outperformed small cap and growth were generally preferred over value,\u201d said von Mehren. <\/p>\n<p>The central bank will be paying close attention to the data set to be released, with its preferred inflation measure, the July personal consumption expenditure index, due on Thursday, followed by August payrolls data on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>The month of August is also winding down, with the S&amp;P 500 down 3.9% and poised for its first monthly loss since February, as the summer has seen the 2023 rally for stocks stall amid a cooling of tech stocks. Down over 5% for August so far, the Nasdaq Composite is also set for its first monthly loss since February. <\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Treasury yields<br \/>\n        BX:TMUBMUSD10Y<br \/>\n       were softer with that of the 10-year note down 1 basis point to 4.222%.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile in China, stocks climbed after the Finance Ministry and the country\u2019s stock market regulator rolled out measures to spark buying interest in stocks, such as a halving of a tax on stock trades and limiting sales by big shareholders in companies that haven\u2019t handed out enough dividends. <\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s CSI 300<br \/>\n        XX:000300<br \/>\n       climbed more than 1%, though shares of indebted property developer China Evergrande Group<br \/>\n        EGRNF,<br \/>\n        <bg-quote field=\"percentchange\" format=\"0,000.00%\" channel=\"\/zigman2\/quotes\/202061721\/delayed\" class=\"positive\">+900.00%<\/bg-quote><br \/>\n       tumbled 78% in Hong Kong after a return to trading after more than a year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/u-s-stock-futures-set-for-modest-gains-as-investors-wait-for-pivotal-data-a9730850?mod=markets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. stock futures edged higher on Monday, as investors looked ahead to a week that will deliver important inflation and employment data, following a cautious view from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell last week.
