US stock futures rose on Monday evening, India time, supported by lower crude oil prices, although a sharp decline in Nvidia shares limited gains.
Futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.52 per cent, while those for the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.91 per cent. Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.2 per cent.
Nvidia shares fell more than 5 per cent in pre-market trade after Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang's reported admission of an affair with a woman identified as a suspected Chinese spy. An exchange-traded fund tracking semiconductor stocks fluctuated.
Investors are also awaiting Nvidia's quarterly results, scheduled to be announced next week.
Brent crude futures declined 1 per cent to near USD 97 per barrel, extending last week's 16 per cent fall as diplomatic efforts to end the US-Iran conflict continued.
