Stock futures were little changed on Monday night after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite hit fresh records.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average 59 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures added 0.06%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.03%.
Shares of NXP Semiconductors lost more than 5% in extended trading after the company reported a decline in second-quarter revenue, weighed down by weakness in the automotive market.
Stocks are starting the week off strong. The S&P 500 in the previous session rose about 0.1% and ended the session at 6,305.60, marking the index's first close above the 6,300 level. A rally in tech stocks ahead of quarterly results for key megacap names boosted the Nasdaq Composite by nearly 0.4% for a closing record of 20,974.17. Both indexes hit new all-time intraday highs earlier in the session. The Dow underperformed and ended the day marginally lower.
Investors are now turning to a big week for second-quarter financial results. So far, more than 60 S&P 500 companies have reported, with more than 85% of those topping analysts' estimates, according to FactSet data. Eyes are on commentary from companies about macroeconomic certainty, the impact of tariffs and details on demand and spending related to artificial intelligence.
Philip Morris International, Coca-Cola and Lockheed Martin are just a few of the companies on deck to report earnings results on Tuesday. Google parent Alphabet and Tesla will report Wednesday, kicking off highly anticipated results from the "Magnificent Seven" companies. The mega-cap tech companies are expected to contribute to a significant amount of earnings growth this season.
Given the recent rally in stocks, investors are watching for how far the market can run, with some commenting that valuations already appear stretched. Cetera Investment Management chief investment officer Gene Goldman said that "much of the good news appears to be priced in, leaving little margin for error."
"Markets may have rallied too far, too fast," Goldman added. "After dipping after 'liberation day' to 4,982, the S&P bounced back sharply, in fact – the recovery has been the fastest in nearly 50 years even as 2025 earnings expectations were nearly halved."

Pfizer and BioNTech Receive Positive CHMP Opinion for LP.8.1-adapted COVID-19 Vaccine in the European Union
Data indicate that the LP.8.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine confers improved immune response against currently dominant and emerging sublineages – including the XFG and NB.1.8.1 variants1 – compared to 2024-2025 COVID-19 vaccine formulations Upon authorization by the European Commission (EC), the LP.8.1-adapted COVID-19 vaccine will be available for individuals 6 months of age and older To date, over a billion adults and children around the world have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, which continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and efficacy profile supported by extensive real-world evidence, clinical, non-clinical, pharmacovigilance and manufacturing data Doses will be ready to ship to applicable EU member states immediately upon authorization by the European Commission NEW YORK & MAINZ, Germany, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE, "Pfizer") and BioNTech SE (Nasdaq: BNTX, "BioNTech") announced today that the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has recommended marketing authorization for the companies' LP.8.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine (COMIRNATY® LP.8.1) for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 6 months of age and older. The adaptation is based on the recommendation from the EMA's Emergency Task Force (ETF) to update COVID-19 vaccines to target the LP.8.1 variant for the 2025-2026 season. The ETF stated that "targeting LP.8.1 will help maintain the effectiveness of the vaccines as SARS-CoV-2 continues to evolve."2 The CHMP's recommendation will be reviewed by the European Commission (EC), which is expected to make its final decision soon. Pfizer and BioNTech have already initiated manufacturing of the LP.8.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine at risk to ensure supply readiness ahead of the upcoming fall and winter season, when the demand for COVID-19 vaccination is expected to increase. The updated vaccine will be available to ship to applicable EU member states immediately following the EC decision. The CHMP's recommendation is based on the cumulative body of evidence previously submitted by Pfizer and BioNTech that includes clinical, non-clinical, and real-world data supporting the safety and efficacy of Pfizer and BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines. This application included non-clinical and manufacturing data showing that the LP.8.1-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccine generates overall improved immune responses against multiple circulating SARS-CoV-2 lineages, including XFG, NB.1.8.1, LF.7, and other currently circulating contemporary sublineages, compared to the companies' JN.1 and KP.2-adapted monovalent COVID-19 vaccines.1 The companies have also submitted data for the updated COVID-19 vaccine to regulatory authorities around the world. The companies are continuing to monitor the evolving epidemiology of COVID-19 in preparation to meet global public health needs. The COVID-19 vaccines by Pfizer and BioNTech are based on BioNTech's proprietary mRNA technology and were developed by both companies. BioNTech is the Marketing Authorization Holder for COMIRNATY® and its adapted vaccines in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries, and the holder of emergency use authorizations or equivalents in the United States (jointly with Pfizer) and other countries.

Gold subdued as trade optimism weighs, but soft dollar cap losses
Gold prices edged lower on Friday, as signs of progress in trade negotiations between the U.S. and its trading partners weighed on safe-haven demand, although an overall weaker dollar limited losses for bullion. Spot gold was down 0.1% at $3,363.91 per ounce, as of 0243 GMT. However, bullion has gained 0.4% so far this week. U.S. gold futures fell 0.2% to $3,365.50. "Basically we are seeing some profit-taking from short-term bullish speculators due to the fact that we now start to see this trade-deal optimism in the market," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said. "However, the dollar is in a weakening bias and on top of that, we still have the Fed rate cuts pretty much alive at this juncture, which are supporting gold near $3,360 level." The European Union and the United States now appear to be heading towards a possible trade deal, according to EU diplomats, which would result in a broad 15% tariff on EU goods imported into the U.S., mirroring a framework agreement Washington struck with Japan. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq notched record closing highs overnight as signs of easing global trade tensions lifted risk sentiment among investors. Offering respite to gold, the U.S. dollar index was headed for its worst week in a month, making greenback-priced gold less expensive for other currency holders. Data showed U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly fell last week, signaling a steady labor market despite sluggish hiring making it harder for the unemployed to find work. The Federal Reserve is also widely expected to leave rates unchanged at its July 29–30 meeting, but markets continue to price in a potential rate cut in September. Spot silver rose 0.2% at $39.14 per ounce and was on track for a weekly gain, up 2.5% for the week. Platinum eased 0.2% to $1,407.10 and palladium climbed 0.9% to $1,238.73.

CNBC Daily Open: Triple whammy for Tesla
Tesla's going through a bumpy ride. The electric vehicle company on Wednesday reported a second consecutive quarter of declining auto sales. In Europe, Tesla's market share fell for the sixth straight month to 2.8% in June from 3.4% a year ago. The Trump administration's plans to reportedly roll back the U.S.' push for cleaner vehicles will probably hit Tesla further. A $7,500 EV tax credit in the U.S. will expire at the end of September, indirectly raising the cost of Tesla vehicles. Meanwhile, traditional carmakers will no longer need to purchase EV regulatory credits from Tesla — which receives them for free because its vehicles are completely electric — as the Trump administration intends to stop fining traditional carmakers for missing emission standards. That means Tesla will soon lose a source of revenue. They say bad things come in threes. Here's the last. While Tesla's bitcoin holding is currently worth $1.24 billion, according to its investor deck, it could have been worth billions more. In 2022, the company dumped 75% of its bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is trading at roughly $118,000 now. When Tesla sold its holdings, it was trading at around $19,000. If there's any consolation, even though U.S. President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" will affect Tesla, Trump said on Thursday it wasn't a targeted measure. "I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!" Whether Trump's sentiments can help pave a smoother road for Tesla, though, is another spars with Powell during Fed visit. The U.S. President went back and forth with the Federal Reserve chair over Trump's claims about cost overruns at the Fed headquarters. But Trump said he doesn't think it's "necessary" to fire Powell. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite close at new records. Both indexes were rose Thursday despite an 8% plunge in Tesla shares. On Friday, Asia-Pacific markets fell. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index led losses as of 1:30 a.m. ET. Intel's second-quarter revenue beats estimates. But the chipmaker reported a net loss of $2.9 billion due to an $800 million impairment charge. Intel's new CEO Lip-Bu Tan also announced big spending cuts in the company's foundry business. India expects "preferential" tariffs from the U.S. That's according to New Delhi's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, who told CNBC that negotiations were "progressing extremely well." [PRO] An Indian company bets on weight-loss drugs. Expiring patents in Brazil and India mean that this pharma firm has a rare opportunity to be a first mover in dozens of emerging markets. As Trump visits Scotland, the UK looks to settle some unfinished business U.S. President Donald Trump is due to visit two Trump-owned golf sites in Turnberry and Aberdeen between Friday and Tuesday, as well as one of his new golf courses that's set to open in August. He's also due to have an informal meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The question is where might we see some "give and take" in the U.S.-UK trade deal, Kallum Pickering, chief economist at Peel Hunt, told CNBC on Wednesday.
