June 10 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq turned higher, while the Dow was flat on Monday as investors remained wary ahead of a key inflation reading as well as a Federal Reserve meeting thisweek, which could provide clues on the central bank's policy-easing path.
The S&P 500 .SPX pared early declines, while gains in companies including Microsoft MSFT.O, Amazon.com AMZN.O and Broadcom AVGO.O helped the Nasdaq .IXIC trade slightly higher. Those shares rose between 0.8% and 2.5%.
In focus this week are the Consumer Price Index inflation report for May and the conclusion of the Fed's two-day policy meeting, both on Wednesday. The central bank, which will release updated economic and policy projections, is overwhelmingly expected to hold interest rates steady.
Markets dialed back expectations for rate cuts inSeptember after Friday's bumper jobs data for May, with the odds ofa reduction at 50%.
Expectations had risen as high as 69% last week. However, unemployment had ticked higher and household surveys showed signs of economic distress.
"We're probably going to see a little bit of volatility," said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy and research at Glenmede.
"The employment report already created a 'choose your own adventure', and we suspect there may still be a little bit of confusion from the CPI report this week," Pride said.

At 11:54 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was down 19.65 points, or 0.05%, at 38,779.34, the S&P 500 .SPX was up 7.94 points, or 0.15%, at 5,354.93, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was up 57.16 points, or 0.33%, at 17,190.29.
