Stock Futures Inch Up as Markets Eye U.S.-China Trade Developments

U.S. stock futures edged up slightly on Monday night as investors looked ahead to fresh updates on U.S.-China trade talks. Futures on the Nasdaq 100 (NDX), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and the S&P 500 (SPX) were up 0.06%, 0.02%, and 0.05%, respectively, at 8:23 p.m. EST, June 9.

The modest movement followed a quiet day on Wall Street, as investors focused on ongoing trade talks between the U.S. and China, including rare earth exports and the potential easing of U.S. tech restrictions. The discussions are set to resume Tuesday morning.

During Monday’s regular trading session, the S&P 500 rose nearly 0.1%, marking its second straight day of gains. The Dow closed just below the flatline, while the Nasdaq Composite (NDAQ) inched up by about 0.3%.
