US pre-open: Futures mixed ahead of holiday-shortened week

(Sharecast News) - Major indices were mixed ahead of the bell on Monday as market participants prepared for the holiday-shortened week. As of 1255 GMT, Dow Jones futures were down 0.22%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures had the indices opening 0.07% and 0.41% firmer, respectively.

The Dow closed 498.02 points higher on Friday as the blue-chip index snapped its longest losing streak in half a century.

Wall Street trading was expected to be somewhat muted this week, with the NYSE shutting up shop early on Tuesday and not opening again until Thursday.

On the macro front, the Chicago Federal Reserve's November national activity index will be published at 1330 GMT, while December consumer confidence figures will follow at 1500 GMT.

No major corporate earnings were slated for release on Monday.
