Futures muted as investors await more economic data

Multiple sets of economic data are scheduled to be released this week, including the personal consumption expenditures price index and non-farm payrolls. The Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), due at 10 a.m. ET, is expected to show the number of job openings fell to 9.46 million from 9.58 million in July, signaling easing labor market pressures. Lack of hawkish surprises in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's comments at the Jackson Hole symposium last week had cushioned stocks on Monday.
