U.S. stock futures point to a lower open as investors brace for one of the busiest weeks of earnings season.

After an encouraging week for Wall Street, U.S. stock futures fell late Sunday, ahead of a busy slate of quarterly earnings over the coming days.

A packed upcoming week for markets will test a U.S. stocks rebound, with investors focused on a wave of corporate results led by Apple and Microsoft, while the prospect of global trade developments threatens to cause volatility at any time.
