U.S. index futures declined Monday as markets remained closed for a public holiday. Last week, markets were downbeat following economic data that showed inflation did not moderate as much as expected, triggering fears of more Federal Reserve rate hikes. Investors and traders are now bracing for the release of the crucial Fed meeting minutes on Wednesday. Meanwhile, here are the five stocks that are on investors’ radar:

1. Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA): Shares of Tesla rose over 5% last week. The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated on Monday it has asked the EV maker for additional information following the collision of one of its vehicles with a fire truck in California, reported Reuters.
