US Stock market is set to open on a mixed note on Columbus day as Wall St futures were by and large muted on Monday. S&P 500 futures were up slightly at 7,864.50, Dow Jones futures rose marginally at 51,948. However, Nasdaq futures were down in the pre-market trading at 31,072. Russell 2000 futures fell too at 2,821. While stock markets were open on Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples' Day, the US bond market will not be operational on October 12.
Wall Street investors monitored oil prices and geopolitical developments ahead of key bank earnings and inflation data due this week that could influence the US Federal Reserve's interest-rate path.
