Markets are awaiting U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Israel on Wednesday. Biden is visiting Israel to show solidarity and try to influence the conduct of its war against Hamas.

Amid concerns about slowing global growth, traders also await a slew of Chinese data, including reports on GDP, retail sales and industrial production on Wednesday for direction.

Meanwhile, in a significant announcement, Libya said it would ramp up its oil production to two million barrels per day before the close of the decade.

Investors are also awaiting weekly oil reports from the American Petroleum Institute (API) and U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
