Investors await the Federal Reserve's minutes from the June monetary policy meeting due on Wednesday. At the meeting, the central bank raised its key interest rate by 75 basis points, its biggest hike since 1994.

Traders will also focus on factory orders, ISM non-manufacturing PMI, trade data and unemployment claims due this week for more direction.
