US Futures Edge Higher to Start the Month
US stock futures moved modestly higher on Monday as June trading got underway, with the major indexes remaining near record levels. Wall Street wrapped up a strong May performance, with the Dow advancing 2.79%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite climbed 5.15% and 8.36%, respectively. Technology shares continued to drive gains, supported by persistent enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence-related investments. Market sentiment also benefited from a solid earnings season, with roughly 85% of S&P 500 companies reporting first-quarter results above expectations. Meanwhile, the US and Iran agreed to a 60-day memorandum of understanding to maintain the ceasefire, although negotiations on a broader and more permanent peace agreement are still ongoing. Investors are now focused on the upcoming nonfarm payrolls report, which could provide important clues about labor market conditions and the future direction of Federal Reserve policy.
