    US STOCKS-Futures muted as traders brace for inflation data, Fed verdict

    U.S. stock index futures were muted on Monday in the run-up to an action-packed week that includes the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting and inflation data, both of which will test investor optimism about a soft landing for the economy. The upbeat sentiment around stabilizing interest rates and robust quarterly earnings caused equities to rebound towards the end of the year, with the benchmark S&P 500 within a hailing distance of its highest intra-day level of the year at 4,607.07 points, earlier hit in July. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also notched their highest closing since early 2022 on Friday, after data showed non-farm payrolls were higher than expected, underscoring hopes that the world's largest economy could control inflation without slipping into recession.

As the year closes, legacy automakers as well as Tesla, Rivian and other EV startups are throttling back investments and reworking product strategies.
