(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were little changed on Monday as investors await another batch of earning reports and a raft of economic data.
* Wall Street closed lower on Friday following poor results from Exxon Mobil
* Oil prices hit six-month lows earlier in the day, knocked by fresh evidence of growing oversupply and data highlighting slowing demand in China, leaving crude prices on course for their weakest third-quarter performance since the financial crisis in 2008. [O/R]
* The Greek stock market slumped when it reopened on Monday after being shut for five weeks.
* In the United States, consumer consumption numbers for June are expected at 8:30 a.m. ET (1230 GMT). The numbers are expected to rise 0.2 percent, compared with a 0.9 percent rise in May.
* Construction spending data for June is expected at 10 a.m. ET and automobile sales for July are scheduled to be released at 1:30 p.m. ET.
* Investors have been keeping a sharp eye on economic data for clues regarding the timing of the first rate increase in nearly a decade. The U.S. Federal Reserve has said it will hike interest rates only when it sees a sustained recovery in the economy.
* On Friday, wage data showed that U.S. labor costs in the second quarter recorded their smallest increase in 33 years, which bolstered expectations that the Fed might hold off on an interest rate increase until December.
* Companies scheduled to report on Monday include American International Group
* With more than half of the S&P 500 companies having reported their second-quarter results, analysts expect overall earnings to edge up 0.9 percent and revenue to decline 3.3 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data.
* Nice Systems
Futures snapshot at 7:22 a.m. ET:
