Shares of PayPal Holdings PYPL.O dropped12% andled declines on the benchmark S&P 500 index .SPX after the company cut its margin forecast. They were also among the top drags on the Nasdaq Composite index .IXIC.

Reports on producer prices, weekly jobless claims and consumer sentiment are also lined up for the week.
"It is the CPI print tomorrow, and that's worrying markets, that it could be higher than expected or stickier inflation than expected," said Keith Buchanan, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments.
"And the loan officer survey showed that credit conditions are tightening. That seems like the case is being made that (rates) can stay higher for longer."

Markets further awaited anupdate on the debt ceiling from a meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other congressional leaders at the White House later in the day.
