00:08All right, we've got green arrows across the board ahead of Monday's open here. We'll see
00:13if we can hold that here today. S&P futures higher by 0.75 percent. Dow futures higher by 0
00:21.87 percent
00:22and the Nasdaq leading the way higher, higher by 1.18 percent. Also worth noting, oil is down
00:28three percent here in the morning ahead of Monday's open. So at least so far in the pre-market,
00:35lots of green arrows, lots of positive feelings out there. We'll see if that continues
00:39past the open here today. Now, let's take a look at some cues from last session as well as what
00:44took
00:45place over the weekend and what has us set up for the market action here today. Information technology
00:51and industrial stocks bucked the overall market trend to close higher on Friday while utilities,
00:56materials and real estate led most S&P 500 sectors into negative territory.
01:01And U.S. stock futures advanced on Monday as the Dow, S&P and Nasdaq indices rose following Friday's
01:08mixed close. Geopolitical tensions spiked over the weekend after President Trump issued fresh
01:14warnings to Iran while Tehran threatened sustained retaliation against U.S. bases. Energy markets
01:21remain on high alert as persistent shipping restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz coincide
01:26with new Houthi drone and missile strikes on sensitive targets in Saudi Arabia. With the Federal
01:32Reserve's rate hike in the rear view, investors are turning their focus to earnings from major
01:38consumer-facing companies this week like Costco, ticker COST, General Mills, ticker GIS, and Darden
01:46restaurants, ticker DRI. And that should give insight into household spending strength.
01:51Markets will also be closely monitoring a circuit of speeches from five central bank officials for
01:57monetary policy clues, as well as Meta Platform's Developer Conference for updates on its AI strategy.
02:05Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.96 percent and the two-year Treasury yielded 4.72 percent
02:11at the last check. The CME Group's Fed watch tool projections show markets pricing in a 53.1 percent
02:17likelihood of the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates in its October meeting. Now, we've got several
