Major US indices were in the red early on Monday as market participants gear up for a busy week of earnings season and await the Federal Reserve's latest policy decision.

As of 1450 GMT, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.02% at 33,972.86, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.32% to 4,057.51 and the Nasdaq Composite came out the gate 0.73% weaker at 11,537.24.

The Dow opened just 5.22 points lower on Monday, taking a small bite out of gains recorded in the previous session after the Bureau of Economic Analysis revealed that the personal consumption expenditures price index rose 0.1% month-on-month in December.

Wall Street's year-to-date rally will be put to the test this week, with the likes of McDonald's, General Motors, Apple, Meta Platforms, Amazon, and Alphabet all reporting over the next five days.

Investors will also look to the Federal Open Market Committee, which meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the central bank expected to raise interest rates by 0.25%. Traders will also look for hints as to just how much longer the Fed intends to hike rates in order to fight off inflation.

On the macro front, January's Dallas Federal Reserve manufacturing index will be published at 1530 GMT.
