US Futures Rise as November Trading Begins
US stock futures edged higher on Monday as investors braced for a packed week of corporate earnings, economic data releases, and the US midterm elections. Dow futures gained 0.3%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures each advanced approximately 0.4%. Market participants are looking ahead to earnings reports from major companies, including Apple, Palantir, AMD, Pfizer, and McDonald’s, among others. On the economic front, the closely monitored US jobs report is due this week, alongside ISM manufacturing and services data. Several Federal Reserve officials are also scheduled to deliver remarks, which could provide further insight into the central bank’s future policy direction. Meanwhile, major US stock indexes ended last week lower, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite falling 2%, while the Dow and S&P 500 declined 0.85% and 0.57%, respectively. Selling pressure intensified toward the end of the week as disappointing tech earnings heightened concerns surrounding the AI trade.
