U.S. stock futures largely traded near the flatline Monday night as traders awaited a pivotal consumer inflation report.
S&P 500 futures were marginally higher, while futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 45 points. Nasdaq-100 futures added 0.2%.
During the regular trading day, the Dow Industrials gained 1,104 points, or 2.2%, while the S&P 500 popped about 2.4%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.7%. Monday's rally came after a rocky week for markets, in which traders grew concerned of an impending slowdown in data center buildouts after Democrats posted big victories in the midterm elections.
While the tech sector rebounded in Monday's regular trading, Nvidia sat out the rally.
Shares of the chipmaker slid 4% after Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted on Sunday to having an affair with a woman who U.S. intelligence officials, according to The New York Times, say is a spy for China's Ministry of State Security. The company's board of directors also launched an independent internal investigation, pointing to recent reporting that Huang "has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
