On Tuesday, investors will closely monitor consumer confidence insights, home price data, and JOLTS job openings figures, which are the first of several labor market-related data releases scheduled for the week. Additionally, the ADP's private payrolls data and the crucial October jobs report are also set to be released in the near future.

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the latest personal consumption expenditure price index, is expected to be released this week. Investors will closely monitor the data for indications of the monetary policy outlook.

Policymakers will not be making comments on their general policy and economic expectations during the blackout period leading up to their next meeting on Nov. 6-7, as they will not be discussing the data releases.

The Fed is poised to make its next interest rate decision after reducing rates by 50 basis points in September, marking the beginning of its first easing campaign in four years. Traders are predicting a nearly 95% chance of another rate reduction from the Fed next week, according to CME Group's FedWatch tool.
