U.S. stock-index futures moved higher Sunday evening as Wall Street aimed to build on last week’s rally following the holiday weekend.
The upward trend signals continued investor optimism heading into the new trading week.
Major index futures pointed to a positive open, with Dow Jones Industrial Average futures edging up.
S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures also posted modest gains in overnight trading.
The rally follows a strong performance last week, driven by easing inflation concerns and steady corporate earnings.
Market participants are closely watching for economic data releases and Federal Reserve commentary this week.
Traders remain focused on interest rate expectations and their impact on stock valuations.
Technology shares have been a key driver of recent gains, with major tech stocks showing resilience.
The holiday-shortened week may bring lighter volume, which can amplify price swings.
