Wall Street was poised to open with gains Monday ahead of a busy week of corporate earnings reports. <\/p>\n
Futures for the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq were all up more than 0.2% before the bell.<\/p>\n
Markets have stabilized since spring, when President Donald Trump\u2019s tariff announcements and pullbacks sent markets swinging wildly from day-to-day and sometimes hour-to-hour.<\/p>\n
Trump pushed back the deadline for most countries to negotiate on tariffs to Aug. 1, which along with stronger-than-expected earnings reports, has helped to lift markets to record levels in recent weeks. <\/p>\n
Domino\u2019s Pizza jumped 5.2% in premarket trading Monday after posting strong same-store sales in the U.S., even though the pizza chain just missed Wall Street\u2019s sales and profit targets.<\/p>\n
Verizon climbed 4.6% after the phone and broadband giant beat analysts\u2019 sales and profit targets and raised its full-year guidance.<\/p>\n
Other companies reporting this week include General Motors, Coca-Cola, Tesla and Google parent Alphabet.<\/p>\n
This week also will bring updates on U.S. home sales, jobless claims and manufacturing. <\/p>\n
Bitcoin rose more than 1% to more than $118,500 early Monday, just off all-time highs. Trump on Friday signed into law<\/a> the GENIUS Act, which sets initial guardrails and consumer protections for stablecoins<\/a>, a type of cryptocurrency that is tied to assets like the U.S. dollar to reduce volatility.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, in Europe at midday, Germany\u2019s DAX edged 0.1% lower, while the CAC 40 in Paris slipped 0.4%. Britain\u2019s FTSE 100 was essentially flat.<\/p>\n Markets were closed for a holiday in Japan, where the ruling Liberal Democrats have lost their coalition majorities<\/a> in both houses of parliament for the first time since 1955 following Sunday\u2019s upper house election and the loss of their lower house majority<\/a> in October. <\/p>\n
