Stock futures moved higher early Monday after a losing week on Wall Street as investors braced for a packed week of earnings results, jobs reports and the upcoming midterm elections.
S&P 500 futures traded up 0.5%, while Nasdaq-100 futures gained 0.9%. Futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 186 points, or 0.4%.
The moves come after the three major averages suffered a losing week, bogged down by selling pressure in tech as investors continued to scrutinize names related to the artificial intelligence buildout. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average each fell less than 1% on the week, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2%.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 gained 0.33% to 63,081.86, while South Korea's Kospi led gains with a 2.38% rise to 5,859.08.
Australia's benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was 0.53% lower. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gained 0.44% in its last hour of trade, while mainland China's CSI 300 added 0.79%.
