- At 12:30 GMT, the New York Empire State Manufacturing Index for September is to be released. The main index is expected to increase slightly to -3.9 from -4.7 a month earlier.
- The US Treasury will auction a 3-month and a 6-month bill at 15:30 GMT.
- European equities are trading sideways while US futures are trading flat during European trading hours.
- The CME Fedwatch Tool shows a much smaller 41.0% chance of a 25 basis points (bps) interest rate cut by the Fed on Wednesday, further down from the 87% seen last week.

For the meeting on November 7, another 25 bps cut (if September is a 25 bps cut) is expected by 20.9%, while there is a 50.2% chance that rates will be 75 bps (25 bps 50 bps) and a 29.0% probability of rates being 100 (25 bps 75 bps) basis points lower compared to current levels.
