S&P 500 futures are flat ahead of bank earnings; South Korea's Kospi falls below 6,000: Live updates
U.S. stock futures are trading mixed or flat as investors await third-quarter earnings from major banks. While Salesforce provided a lift to the Dow, an oil price surge has limited gains for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Internationally, South Korea's Kospi index fell below 6,000, driven by a significant decline in the memory chip sector. Markets remain cautious ahead of Tuesday's reports from JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, which are expected to influence broader sentiment.

S&P 500 futures steady as South Korea's Kospi drops below 6,000
U.S. stock futures are trading mixed or flat as investors await third-quarter earnings from major banks. While Salesforce provided a lift to the Dow, an oil price surge has limited gains for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. Internationally, South Korea's Kospi index fell below 6,000, driven by a significant decline in the memory chip sector. Markets remain cautious ahead of Tuesday's reports from JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo, which are expected to influence broader sentiment.
Why it matters
Bank earnings typically set the tone for the corporate reporting season and reflect the health of the financial system. The decline in South Korean chipmakers is significant because semiconductor demand has been a primary driver of recent market growth. Rising oil prices due to Middle East attacks further complicate the economic outlook.
