S&P 500 futures were little changed as big banks prepared to kick off earnings season, with investors looking ahead to a busy week of bank results and inflation data, according to CNBC. US equity-index futures extended gains after oil reversed an early advance triggered by Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg reported. The earnings season opens with major banks facing questions about credit quality, higher interest rates and slowing investment banking activity.
