Stock futures were little changed Monday evening after higher oil prices weighed on the major indexes. Investors also looked ahead to the week in corporate earnings.<\/p>\n
Futures<\/a> tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 14 points, or less than 0.1%. S&P 500 futures<\/a> and Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> were steady.<\/p>\n In regular trading, the Dow<\/a> dropped 307.16 points, or 0.59%, weighed down by a 2% in decline in Apple<\/a> shares. The broad market S&P 500<\/a> fell 0.19%, and the tech-heavy\u00a0Nasdaq Composite<\/a>\u00a0lost 0.05%.<\/p>\n Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed. Japan’s Nikkei 225<\/a> added 0.8%, while the Topix rose 0.86%. South Korea’s Kospi<\/a> advanced 0.1% while the Kosdaq declined 0.72%.<\/p>\n Australia’s benchmark S&P\/ASX 200<\/a> was down 0.58%. <\/p>\n Oil prices rose on Monday after President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social<\/a> post that Tehran will pay for the deaths of three U.S. service members. U.S. crude futures closed up 0.9% at $83.23 a barrel, while international Brent settled 1.3% higher at $89.22. The climb in energy prices pulled the major averages lower on the day, even as semiconductor stocks clawed back some of last week’s steep losses. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH)<\/a> posted a modest gain, aided by Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices.<\/p>\n “It looks to be a quiet week ahead for stock investors that could be dominated by technicals and geopolitical headlines,” said Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management. “Sleepy summer weeks aren’t the time to draw conclusions about the world around us, but they could shake up market leadership going into a busy end of the summer.”<\/p>\n “Earnings are continuing to flow in, but they may provide\u00a0more support than a catalyst to send stock prices higher given lofty expectations,” she added. “Yields are knocking at the door of recent highs across the world, giving investors a tough choice between\u00a0growth and income. This stock market is under a lot of pressure after an impressive three-month rally.”<\/p>\n As companies issue their latest earnings results this week, traders will be hunting for details on artificial intelligence spending. They’ll also be listening on earnings calls for confirmation that executives aren’t becoming more cautious about the second half of the year. Big names set to report later this week include Alphabet<\/a>, IBM<\/a> and Tesla<\/a>.<\/p>\n General Motors<\/a> and 3M<\/a> are slated to report Tuesday morning, while quarterly results from Chubb<\/a> are due after the closing bell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) during Pershing Square Capital Management LP’s…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":762430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[291588,368804,42179,9203,68226,4960,24455,133,81,960,289078,69,91320,144,9233,51,8116,250818,3346,250817,170,135,7070,91322,50,91321,145,95914,134,141,52,67,146],"class_list":["post-948650","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-lco26u","tag-lco26z","tag-3m-co","tag-advanced-micro-devices-inc","tag-alphabet-class-a","tag-apple-inc","tag-breaking-news-major","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business-news","tag-chicago","tag-chubb-ltd","tag-donald-trump","tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","tag-general-motors-co","tag-headlines","tag-international-business-machines-corp","tag-invesco-qqq-trust","tag-investment-strategy","tag-ishares-semiconductor-etf","tag-japan","tag-markets","tag-micron-technology-inc","tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","tag-news","tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","tag-sp-500-index","tag-spdr-sp-500-etf-trust","tag-stock-markets","tag-tesla-inc","tag-top-stories","tag-united-states","tag-vaneck-semiconductor-etf"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948650","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948650\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=948650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=948650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
