U.S. stock futures were little changed Sunday night after a winning week for the major averages, as investors looked ahead to a busy week of earnings results and inflation data. The third-quarter earnings season kicks off this week with major U.S. banks including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo all set to report. According to FactSet, the S&P 500 is expected to post 29.6% earnings growth in the third quarter, the fourth straight quarter of above-25% growth. Key U.S. inflation data (September CPI and PPI) is also due this week, while Brent crude remains above $104 a barrel and 10-year Treasury yields are at levels not seen since 2002.
