Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq: US stock markets open unchanged - no impulses at the start of the week

US stock markets have started the new week quietly, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Nasdaq 100 indices all unchanged from Friday's close. This week, attention will focus on the release of the Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes on Wednesday, which may provide clues on future interest rate decisions.
