December's retail sales data led the way into a deluge of economic data to come this week with a downtrodden read on the economy, as retail spending on the month remained "virtually unchanged" from the month prior. The flatlining sales data signals a slowdown in spending through the end of the holiday season from November's month-on-month growth of 0.6%, and it fell well below economist expectations.
The weak number appeared to lead to an increase in bets on interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. While most traders still expect the Fed to hold steady next month and April, those majorities are shrinking. Meanwhile, over 75% of traders now expect rates to be lower by June.
The consumer data lays the ground for Wednesday's all-important January jobs report, in high focus following last week's signs of softening in the labor market. The latest Consumer Price Index reading is then due on Friday to give a look at inflation pressures, as the Fed continues to balance both sides of its dual mandate
In the corporate world, investors combed through the latest batch of quarterly earnings, Coca-Cola (KO) and CVS Health (CVS) among them. Ford (F) is a highlight on Tuesday's docket after the market close.
Gold (GC=F) and bitcoin (BTC-USD) are still on investors’ radar, as the assets try to stabilize after last week’s sharp pullback. After rallying above $5,000 to start the week, gold slipped back slightly early Tuesday, though strategists remain bullish on its prospects this year. But a risk-off mood weighed on bitcoin, which resumed its slide to trade well below $69,000 before a slight recovery Tuesday morning. The leading cryptocurrency has seen heavy volatility, driven by what one analyst called a "crisis of confidence."LIVE12 updates

Paramount offers to pay $2.8 billion Netflix termination fee, $650 million ticking fee to shareholders
Paramount Skydance (PSKY) isn't giving up in its attempt to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), as Netflix (NFLX) is in the hot seat, undergoing an investigation by the DOJ.
On Tuesday before market open, Paramount enhanced its all-cash, $30 per share offer to acquire all of Warner Bros. with a $0.25 per share "ticking fee," or roughly $650 million cash value, that would be payable to Warner Bros.' shareholders every quarter the transaction is not closed beyond Dec. 31, 2026.
The move comes as its offer is set to expire on Feb. 20, after a previous extension of its $108 billion hostile takeover bid.
In a release, Paramount said this ticking fee is meant "to underscore confidence in the speed and certainty of its regulatory pathway."
The company also said it would pay the $2.8 billion termination fee to end its deal with Netflix and "offers solutions to WBD's debt financing costs and obligations."
"We are making meaningful enhancements — backing this offer with billions of dollars, providing shareholders with certainty in value, a clear regulatory path, and protection against market volatility," Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison said.
Meanwhile, Netflix executives are pushing forward. The Department of Justice is holding a hearing to investigate whether Netflix's $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros. would create a monopoly. 58 mins ago
