Stock futures are little changed Monday after a record week for the S&P 500: Live updates

U.S. stock futures hovered near the flatline early Monday following a record-setting week for the S&P 500.

Futures tied to the 500-stock benchmark were flat. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.08% lower, while Nasdaq 100 futures traded 0.07% higher.

On Friday, the S&P 500 rose 0.57% to close above the 5,000 level for the first time, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 1.25%. On the other hand, the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 54.46 points, or 0.14%.

"CPI and PPI should print in line, but still be bullish," Hatfield said to CNBC. "We think that the market will continue to rally for the next week or two, and then maybe stall out as we wait for this inflation data to continue to come out."
