U.S. stock index futures indicated a flat to slightly lower open on Monday, as investors weighed last Friday's April employment report and looked ahead to the week's expected data reports.
After a quiet start to the week, data is likely to dominate again this week with retail sales due on Wednesday, PPI inflation data Thursday, and industrial production and consumer sentiment Friday.

Friday's April employment report showed a rebound in job growth to 223,000, but slower wage growth at just a tenth of a percent. That improvement over March's 85,000 jobs allayed some market concerns about a sluggish economy, but wage growth was just weak enough for traders to bet the Fed will hold off from raising interest rates a little longer.
"After Friday's somewhat softer-than-expected labor market report, which the average gain in nonfarm payrolls so far this year still below 200,000 compared to an average of greater than 280,000 in the second half of 2014, it is set to be a quieter week for economic news from the U.S.," said head of economic research at Daiwa Capital Markets Europe, Chris Scicluna.
