Wall Street is braced for flat start
On Monday, American stock index futures stood still, having reached a closing maximum in the previous trading session due to the fact that market participants awaited a fresh pack of earnings reports and sentiment was backed by positive consumer spending data.
According to a Commerce Department report, in March, domestic consumer spending ascended by the most for over 9-1/2 years, although price pressures were still muted.
Without energy and food, the core personal consumption expenditures price index was intact, sticking with 0.1% last month.

As trade negotiations enter their last leg, American negotiators make their way to China on Tuesday to negotiate details to conclude the protracted tariff clash between the two leading economies.

ET, Dow e-minis rallied by 0.03%. Additionally, S&P 500 e-minis were intact, while Nasdaq 100 e-minis tumbled by 0.02%.
