The July consumer price index will be released on Tuesday, offering Wall Street (and JPow) a glimpse into any potential tariff-related price increases. Prices ticked up 0.3% in June, with several consumer goods showing the effects of tariffs.

U.S. stock-market futures advanced slightly Sunday, as investors await a potentially tumultuous week.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose about 40 points, or 0.1%, late Sunday. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures also inched higher. The price of gold slipped, while bitcoin hovered above the $118,000 level. Crude oil futures declined.
The stock market’s rebound may be tested this week by important inflation data, with data from the consumer-price index coming Tuesday and data from the producer-price index due Thursday. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump will host Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday to discuss a potential cease-fire agreement in Ukraine.
