U.S. stock-index futures were flat after Friday's rally as investors awaited fresh catalysts. Later this week, the focus will be on the Fed Chair Janet Yellen's semi-annual monetary policy testimony to the Congress (due on Wednesday and Thursday) and earnings season, which unofficially kicks off on Friday with large financial names JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Citigroup (C), and Wells Fargo (WFC) posting their Q2 reports.
