Stock futures were climbed on Monday morning, as Wall Street awaits guidance on monetary policy from the Federal Reserve this week.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 ticked up 0.27%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures hovered near the flatline, while Nasdaq-100 futures added 0.47%.

Inflation concerns have pressured stocks in recent days, with the S&P 500 set to enter Monday trading riding a two-week losing streak. The 30-stock Dow and Nasdaq are also coming off marginal losses. A hotter-than-expected February core and wholesale inflation reading frustrated equities and sparked anxiety that the central bank may be partial toward higher interest rates for longer before its policy meeting begins on Tuesday.
