Investing.com – U.S. futures were flat on Monday as trade tensions continue and earnings season winds down.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and China continued to flare up, with China lashing out at U.S. President Donald Trump for his trade policies. On Friday Beijing said it was ready to retaliate with tariffs on up to $60 billion of U.S. goods after the White House planned to propose 25% instead of 10% on $200 billion of imported Chinese goods.
