U.S. equity futures remained largely unchanged on Sunday evening as the S&P 500 traded near a record high, with a busy week of potential market-moving news ahead. S&P 500 futures dipped approximately 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures decreased by 0.2%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average also fell by 45 points, or 0.1%. This follows a second consecutive winning week for all three major indexes. The S&P 500 closed above the 6,000 level for the first time since February 21 and is now less than 3% away from its record closing high. Chris Verrone, chief market strategist at Strategas, noted on ‘Closing Bell’ that the rally indicates easing concerns about tariffs and the U.S. economy among traders and investors. The upcoming week will bring opportunities to either reinforce or undermine market confidence, including trade talks between the U.S. and China in London, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference, and inflation data releases.
