Futures Hold Steady Following S&P 500’s Record Close

U.S. equity futures remained stable on Monday, thereby sustaining gains after the S&P 500 closed at an all-time high last week, exceeding 5,000 for the first time. Futures across the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index remained relatively unchanged.

Investors now await the next batch of corporate earnings this week, with the likes of Airbnb, Coca-Cola, John Deere, and Kraft Heinz headlining the incoming reports.
