(Sharecast News) - Wall Street trading got off to a mixed start on Monday as traders braced for a data-heavy week, which will include the release of two closely watched inflation readings.
As of 1445 BST, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.14% at 45,336.40, while the S&P 500 advanced 0.18% to 6,492.92 and the Nasdaq Composite came out of the gate 0.65% firmer at 21,841.41.
The Dow opened 64.46 points lower on Monday, extending losses recorded in the previous session as concerns about the economy overshadowed increased rate-cut projections, as data showed that hiring slowed to a crawl in August.
Traders were looking ahead to two major inflation releases this week, with the latest US jobs report fuelling speculation that the Federal Reserve may move to cut interest rates at its upcoming policy meeting.
The producer price index for August was scheduled for release on Wednesday, followed by the consumer price index on Thursday, with both expected to provide further clarity on the trajectory of inflation and the Fed's next steps after Friday's non-farm payrolls data showed weaker-than-expected hiring in August, reinforcing hopes that the central bank could begin easing monetary policy sooner than previously anticipated.
On the macro front, July consumer credit change figures were slated for release at 2000 BST.
No major corporate earnings were slated for release on Monday.
