Dow Jones Futures Fall: CPI, Fed Meeting Loom; GameStop Crashes 50% In Two Days

Dow Jones futures, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures, were lower ahead of the stock market open. GameStop plunged further Monday, extending Friday's losses. And, later this week, the CPI report and the Federal Reserve's policy meeting are key events to monitor.

The May consumer price index and the Federal Reserve meeting take the spotlight in this week's economic data.

Wednesday's CPI is expected to show another 0.3% increase in core prices. And the Fed policy update and new economic projections are also due Wednesday. The last set of Fed projections released in March showed policymakers led by Chair Jerome Powell narrowly backing three quarter-point rate cuts in 2024, with a hawkish minority favoring two cuts.

The same kind of division may be evident in the new projections, but with more dovish members now backing two rate cuts and the hawks bent on a single rate cut.

Elsewhere, big earnings reports this week include Adobe, Broadcom and Oracle.

GameStop stock plunged as much as 18% Monday, as the video game retailer crumbled as much as 50% over the last two trading sessions. Shares closed down 12%.
