Investors are focused on July’s personal consumption expenditures reading, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, along with a second-quarter GDP estimate. The report said both figures are due Wednesday and could provide additional insight into the strength of the U.S. economy and inflation pressures.

Oil prices also declined, potentially easing some concerns over inflation. Brent crude fell 2.8% to $86.08 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate dropped 3% to $79.93.

Markets are also watching developments involving the Strait of Hormuz and the upcoming Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak Friday, with investors seeking clues on monetary policy and inflation.
