Futures for stocks increased as traders assessed how the murder attempt affected the former president Donald Trump and prepared for a significant week of significant corporate earnings.
A gain of 204 points, or 0.51%, was seen in Dow Jones Industrial Average futures. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures increased by 0.43%.
The attempted assassination of Trump, the Republican nominee for president, was a topic of interest for traders to follow.
Even while the move would cause deeper political rifts in the nation, dealers also thought it might help Republicans and Trump gain ground in the polls before November’s election.
