On Monday, stock futures rose as traders anticipated a busy week of corporate earnings and assessed how the murder attempt on former President Donald Trump might affect him.
A 0.5% increase, or 210 points, was seen in Dow Jones Industrial Average futures. Futures for the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 both increased by 0.4%.
As the Republican nominee for president, Trump, was being targeted for murder, traders were keeping an eye on the latest events.
Ahead of the November election, investors predicted it may help Trump and Republicans gain additional ground in the polls, even if it might also fuel national political division.
