Prior to the opening bell, Dow Jones futures lost 0.1% vs. fair value, as S&P 500 futures fell a fraction. The tech-focused Nasdaq 100 futures also moved down less than 0.1% vs. fair value in premarket trades.

Early Monday, the 10-year Treasury yield ticked higher to 4.46%. Oil prices continued to rebound from a June 4 low, with West Texas Intermediate futures around $75.80 a barrel — about 13% below their April peak.

Among U.S. exchange traded funds, the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) inched lower while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) lost 0.1%.

GameStop, AMD, Nvidia Stock Split

GameStop stock rebounded more than 8% Monday, looking to recoup a portion of Friday’s heavy losses.

Shares plunged more than 39% Friday after the video game retailer unexpectedly moved up its Q1 report and announced a new major share offering. Meanwhile, meme trader Keith Gill, known online as “Roaring Kitty”, on Friday conducted a livestream event.

AMD stock dropped more than 2% Monday premarket after Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock from overweight to equalweight, holding the price target at 176.

Further, Nvidia stock’s 10-for-1 split went into effect in premarket trade Monday, as shares dropped 0.5%, threatening to extend a losing streak to three sessions. The company is an IBD Leaderboard stock. In recent weeks, Nvidia stock topped a secondary buy point at 974, gapping up to new highs.

Stock Market Today: CPI, Fed Meeting

The May consumer price index and the Federal Reserve meeting take the spotlight in this week’s economic data.

Wednesday’s CPI is expected to show another 0.3% increase in core prices. And the Fed policy update and new economic projections are also due Wednesday. The last set of Fed projections released in March showed policymakers led by Chair Jerome Powell narrowly backing three quarter-point rate cuts in 2024, with a hawkish minority favoring two cuts. The same kind of division may be evident in the new projections, but with more dovish members now backing two rate cuts and the hawks bent on a single rate cut.

Elsewhere, big earnings reports this week include Adobe (ADBE), Broadcom (AVGO) and Oracle (ORCL).
