STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS - U.S. stock index futures were subdued on Tuesday in a data-packed week, with job openings figures due later in the day that will provide further clues on the state of the economy.
The Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey , due at 10 a.m. ET, is expected to show the number of job openings fell to 9.46 million from 9.58 million in July, signaling easing labor market pressures. "Given the tight labor market, any signs of workers coming off the sidelines and re-entering the labor market would be welcomed and could help ease wage pressures," said Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co.
Investors will also keep a close eye on the Conference Board's consumer confidence report, due at 10 a.m. ET.
