U.S. stock index futures traded flat on Monday after the equities recorded their strongest week of the year, as investors waited for two important events later this week - the release of the minutes from the Federal Recerve’s July meeting on Wednesday and the Fed chairman Jerome Powell's address to the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday - which could alter the rate cut bets and influence the stock market's direction.
