December retail sales 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, wealth management stocks took a hit on Tuesday after an AI startup unveiled a tool that raised concerns about potential disruption in the industry, echoing recent fears seen in the software sector. Shares of Charles Schwab (SCHW), Raymond James Financial (RJF), and LPL Financial (LPLA) all sold off more than 6%.
Elsewhere, 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 near $69,000. The leading cryptocurrency has seen heavy volatility, driven by what one analyst called a "crisis of confidence."LIVE20 updates

Wealth management stocks sink over fears of AI disruption
Wealth-management stocks sold off on Tuesday amid fears of AI disruption sweeping the industry.
The sell-off was sparked by a new tool announced on Tuesday by the startup Altruist, which allows financial advisers to create fully personalized tax strategies for clients using pay stubs, statements, and other documents.
Shares of Charles Schwab (SCHW), Raymond James Financial (RJF), and LPL Financial (LPLA) all sold off after the unveiling. Stifel Financial also headed lower.
The sell-off is similar to what has happened with software stocks, which have been punished over concerns that customers will use AI and be less reliant on outside companies for data and workflows. Today at 8:00 PM UTC

Oil demand peak is further out than previously thought, top independent oil trader says
Vitol, the world's largest independent oil trader, pushed back its estimates for when oil demand will peak in a new report released Monday, forecasting a peak in the mid-2030s against previous predictions of a peak in the early 2030s.
The commodities trading house said demand could "at its height ... reach around 112 million [barrels per day], and is likely to remain close to this level with only minimal decline by the end of the forecast," adding that demand in 2040 is likely to be around 5 million bpd higher than its current level.
Current global demand sits a bit above 100 million bpd.
"Population growth, rising incomes, and continued urbanisation are sustaining underlying demand for mobility, plastics, chemicals, and energy — and by extensions, oil," the trading house, which trades roughly 7% of global oil every day, wrote in its new report.
"This dynamic is reinforced in several regions by a stronger industrial policy orientation, with a greater emphasis on domestic competitiveness and security of supply."
Vitol noted in its report that a slower-than-expected adoption of electric vehicles in the US and Asian markets is one of the primary drivers of it…
