Stock market futures are flat after S&P 500 extends winning streak to six days: Live updates
Stock futures were little changed on Monday evening as Wall Street waits to see if last week's market rally can find new momentum.
S&P 500 futures dipped less than 0.1%. Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.1%, while futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 15 points, or less than 0.1%.
The moves in futures follow a relatively calm trading session on Monday that saw the S&P 500 grind higher by 0.09% for its sixth straight positive session. The Dow gained about 137 points, or 0.32%, while the Nasdaq Composite ticked up just 0.02%.
While Monday's gains were marginal, they do add to what has been a rapid and sharp rebound for stocks over the past five weeks. The S&P 500 is now just 3% from its record high.
The gains despite continued uncertainty around the impact of tariffs on the economy and worries about a potential U.S. recession. Investors even shrugged off the downgrade of the U.S. government's credit by Moody's Ratings.
That backdrop has led to some skepticism about the rally, but Carson Group chief market strategist Ryan Detrick told CNBC that the rebound should be taken seriously.
"All these worries and concerns are real. We're not ignoring everything that's out there. But are we listening to what the market's doing, right? The previous 27 trading days, the S&P 500 is up close to 20%. … That's not a bear market rally. That's not a short-covering rally," Detrick said Monday on "Closing Bell: Overtime."
Earnings reports will provide some fodder for the debate about the U.S. economy on Tuesday. Home Depot is set to report its latest results in the morning, while homebuilder Toll Brothers will release its quarterly report after the market closes.
Traders will also keep an eye out for commentary about the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy, as several central bank officials are scheduled to speak on Tuesday, including St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem.
Stock market futures were calm when trading resumed at 6 p.m. in New York. S&P 500 futures were down less than 0.1%.

Go ahead: Start celebrating a big quarter for stocks
When 2025 opened, there was plenty of talk of a boffo year for stocks. Tax cuts were coming. Deregulation was coming. Maybe the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates more. So, there was talk the Standard & Poor's 500 would end the year possibly at 7,000 or higher, which would mean a 19% gain on the year. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Yes, there might be some tariff increases, but no one - but no one - expected the panic that overtook markets when President Trump unveiled his tariff plans on April 3. The S&P 500 fell as much as 10.4% in the next two days. The president then dialed back the tariff increases, subject to getting trades negotiated by July 9.

From an April 7 low, the index has roared back, rising nearly 28% and ending Friday at a record 6,173 after reaching an intraday high of 6,188. 7,000 may seem over-the-top, but . . . For the quarter so far (with one day to go), the S&P 500 is up 10%. It's up 4.4% in June and nearly 5% on the year. The year-to-date return is about the same at the Nasdaq Composite Index; the Nasdaq-100's gain is 7.2% on the year and 17% for the quarter. So, if the S&P 500 hits 10% gains per quarter for the rest of the year, the index would finish 2025 at, maybe, 8,200, a gain of some 40%.

Nonetheless, the S&P 500 will end the quarter higher, with the technology sector up 21% and the industrial sector up 12%. Techs are led by Seagate Technology (STX) , up more than 60%, Broadcom (AVGO) , up 61%, and Jabil (JBL) ., up 56% Palantir (PLTR) is up about 45%. Nvidia (NVDA) , Microsoft (MSFT) and Meta Platforms (META) are up 46%, 32% and 28%, respectively. The industrial sector has risen because of gains in a number of defense and related companies, including Boeing (BA) , naval ship builder Huntington Ingalls (HII) , L3Harris Technologies (LHX) and Howmet Aerospace (HWM) . Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images The current environment is bullish and has momentum that won't last forever. In fact, there face risks a-plenty over the next six months, including: The Administration's July 9 deadline for finishing trade negotiations will probably come and go because there are so many deals to negotiate. China and the United States have agreed on terms for exporting rare earth metals to the United States. India and the United States are close to a deal. But the president stopped talks with Canada over a tax dispute. Terms on all agreements, however, will be examined carefully. And a mistake on tariffs can cause investors to panic as they did in April.

It depends on how all the negotiations end. And tax changes as big as the Trump Administration is proposing can cause absolutely unforeseen effects that probably won't be seen until later in the year. Still, second-quarter earnings look promising. They unofficially have a soft start on July 10, when Delta Air Lines (DAL) reports results. The parade kicks into higher fear on July 15 when JP Morgan Chase (JPM) and a host of big banks report on July 15. (AMZN) sports the largest percentage of buy ratings: 97% of total ratings, with 3% holds. The Middle East is quiet for now. Israel and Iran are not shooting missiles at one another, and Iran has not blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil flows. The state of Iran's nuclear materials, however, is not clear. The fear is that the Trump tax bill will increase the U.S. deficit by trillions of dollars over the next few years, and bond yields will soar. (Senate Republicans were able to win a key procedural vote on Saturday.) The 10-year Treasury yield was at 4.87% on Jan. 13 and $4.285% on Friday. Meanwhile, it seems that the Fed will cut its key federal funds rate in September, despite President Trump's complaints that Fed boss Jerome Powell, whose terms ends in 2026, is too slow. The traders have expected two rate cuts all this year, with the first coming in September. Two measures to watch: One is the S&P 500 forward price-earnings ratio which was at 25 on Friday. The 10-year average is 18 to 19. Relative strength indexes are very high. as many as 55 S&P 500 stocks are Friday at RSIs, above 70, a signal they're overvalued. It fell back to 49 at the end of the day. Jabil Circuit, Western Digital (WDC) , Seagate Technology and financial giant Goldman Sachs (GS) all had RSIs are 80 or higher. Bull markets, like we're having, can continue with high RSIs for a while - but not forever.

The global week ahead: A hectic half first heralds a volatile second
"Politics isn't wagging the tail – it's shaking the entire dog." These strong words from one wealth manager to CNBC last week capture a hectic first half of trading. They also set the stage for an uncertain second half, where "geoeconomics" looks set to remain a dominant market force. This week, expect attention to return to monetary policy, as central bankers from across the globe — who have kept their heads down amid political tensions — prepare to speak at the ECB Forum in Sintra, Portugal. A lot has happened in the last six months, with trade tensions and truces sending equity markets across the globe haywire. The VIX volatility index — also known as the Wall Street fear gauge — spiked in April as tariff threats, followed by tariff pauses, caused huge intraday swings across major indices. Meanwhile, "black swan" moments in the Middle East also kept investors on edge. Amid all the uncertainty, some stock markets showed remarkable resilience: Germany's Dax remains the outperformer in Europe, up over 18% so far this year, followed by London's FTSE 100 up around 9%, while the French CAC 40 lags with around 5% gains. But what does this all mean for trading in the second half of the year? Goldman Sachs warns that, "elevated policy uncertainty paired with a worsening macro backdrop are likely to support higher equity volatility in the next months."As Goldman's warning rings loudly in investors' ears, the stage is set for central banks to return to the limelight. This week, the town of Sintra in Portugal plays host to the annual ECB Forum, where European central bankers are joined by their international counterparts to exchange views on current policy issues. The sun may well be shining in Portugal — but President Donald Trump's recent comments will no doubt cast a shadow over the meeting, as he continues to put unprecedented pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Just last week, Trump's name-calling of Powell ramped up, sparking talk of a so-called "shadow Fed chair," who could keep an eye on things until taking over as chair next year. Powell also put the pressure on his monetary policy peers, calling on central bankers to hold steady until they see the impact of trade tariffs: "We are well positioned to wait and learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments to our policy stance." Europe will need to decide how much it lets the U.S. approach dictate its policy, with ECB President Christine Lagarde opening proceedings in Sintra with a speech on Monday evening. Expect a punchy tone; her recent op-ed in the Financial Times saw her call for the euro to take advantage of the current environment and "gain global prominence." Next Friday marks the first anniversary of the Labour Party taking power in the U.K., following 14 years of Conservative rule. A landslide victory saw a jubilant Labour return to Downing Street with the promise of change and growth. But the honeymoon period was short-lived. Fast-forward 12 months and Prime Minister Keir Starmer looks set to reach his first year in office with plummeting approval ratings which put him below his rival party leaders, including Reform's Nigel Farage, Liberal Democrat Sir Ed Davey and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. Starmer has faced a lot of external pressure, ranging from a public spat with Elon Musk to a slew of foreign policy challenges in Ukraine and the Middle East. Even three trade deals — with Europe, India and the very first U.S. agreement — did little to improve his popularity. But the economic challenges at home are causing the most discontent, with pressure even from within his own party to review certain reforms.
