- U.S. stock-index futures were little changed on Sunday, with investors bracing for key inflation data due later this week.
- Iran raised new demands that cast fresh doubt on the Strait of Hormuz reopening anytime soon, keeping geopolitical risk in the market's calculus.
Why it matters: With Iran's new demands casting doubt on a near-term Strait of Hormuz reopening and key inflation data still ahead, traders face two open-ended catalysts in the same week. The source explicitly ties both to the flat-but-cautious futures tone heading into Monday's session, meaning either a Hormuz breakthrough or a benign inflation print could lift futures from here.
