08:17 AM EDT, 05/21/2024 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were little changed Tuesday in anticipation of quarterly earnings from chipmaker Nvidia ( NVDA ) due for release later in the week.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures flatlined, S&P 500 futures were flat, while Nasdaq futures slipped 0.08%.

Nvidia ( NVDA ) is set to report after the closing bell on Wednesday.

Oil prices were lower, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude and US West Texas Intermediate crude both down more than 1%, as expectations of lingering US inflation dented demand prospects for crude.

There are no major economic data due for release.
