Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were little changed on Monday night after a record-setting session for the blue-chip index.
Futures tied to the 30-stock index added 56 points, or 0.1%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures similarly traded near flat.
Rivian shares dropped more than 8% after the electric vehicle maker began a common stock public offering of 75 million shares. SpaceX shed about 1% ahead of its Tuesday entrance into the Nasdaq-100.
Monday night’s action follows a winning session on Wall Street that propelled the Dow above the 53,000 mark for the first time. The 30-stock index also closed above that threshold. Technology stocks led the charge higher, with the Nasdaq Composite finishing up by more than 1% amid a rebound in semiconductor names. Chip plays Western Digital and Advanced Micro Devices rose 7% and 6.6%, respectively. The S&P 500 also closed higher, advancing 0.7%.
Dell jumped more than 4% in Monday’s session after President Donald Trump encouraged consumers to buy its computers during an event in the White House. But Microsoft shares pulled back after the software giant announced 4,800 job cuts.
“We’re getting new highs on various indices, and that makes sense,” said Richard Bernstein, Janus Henderson’s global head of macro and customized investing, on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime.” “Not only is earnings growth strong, but it’s abundant as well. That is spreading to the markets.”
Investors will watch for economic data on the U.S. trade deficit due Tuesday morning. There are no major earnings releases scheduled.

Walmart shares ticked lower after the bell on Monday after President Donald Trump claimed that the retailer would cut price tags.
“I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request to celebrate our great Country’s 250th birthday,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in an afternoon post.
Trump said that Walmart would specifically lower ground beef prices “by almost 15%.” Other products would also see price decreases, he said.
“Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots,” Trump wrote.
Walmart shares slipped about 1% in Monday’s session, marking its seventh losing day of the last eight. Shares are slightly below flat on the year.
