Bank of America reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue on Monday, sending its stock up by half a percent. Charles Schwab was also expected to report earnings later in the morning.

Retail sales figures for September are scheduled to be published at around 8:30 a.m. ET on Monday. Later in the session, Empire State Manufacturing Index data for October and business inventories data for August are both set to be released at around 10 a.m.
