Futures linked to the S&P 500 traded rose Monday night after U.S. equities posted a strong start to the new trading month.<\/p>\n
S&P 500 futures<\/a> added 0.3%, while Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> gained nearly 0.6%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> advanced 31 points, or less than 0.1%.<\/p>\n Shares of Palantir Technologies<\/a> jumped about 6% in extended trading after the defense tech company gave strong fourth-quarter financial results<\/a> and upbeat guidance. Robotics play Teradyne<\/a> surged 20% after posting a solid outlook for the first quarter, calling for revenue that surpassed expectations.<\/p>\n Major stock averages rose across the board in the regular session. The 30-stock\u00a0Dow<\/a>\u00a0jumped about 515 points, or 1.05%. The\u00a0S&P 500<\/a>\u00a0advanced 0.5%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite<\/a>\u00a0gained almost 0.6%. Hot artificial intelligence infrastructure stocks Sandisk<\/a>, Western Digital<\/a> and Seagate<\/a> all ended the session higher. However, Nvidia<\/a> fell nearly 3% after The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> late last week that the chip company’s plans to invest in OpenAI have stalled.<\/p>\n In cryptocurrencies, bitcoin dropped to its lowest level<\/a> since April, signaling investors’ decreasing appetite for risk. Futures tied to silver<\/a> and gold<\/a> also settled lower on Monday.

Advanced Micro Devices<\/a> and Pfizer<\/a> are among those expected to post results on Tuesday. “Magnificent Seven” giants Amazon<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Alphabet<\/a> are slated to report later this week. Tech earnings will be in focus as investors look for signs of AI-driven efficiency and profit growth, particularly after the market’s unforgiving reaction to Microsoft’s<\/a>\u00a0results last week.<\/p>\n “The themes that have been driving risk assets higher \u2014 the Federal Reserve obviously not tightening rates, probably reducing rates a little bit more this year, the strong economy and profit backdrop and the tariff story not getting worse … you still have those tailwinds in place,” Solus Alternative Asset Management strategist Dan Greenhaus said Monday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” “The AI story is still driving markets.”<\/p>\n “I think when you put all of that together, you might get a little more volatile in February, but what’s driving the market is still there,” Greenhaus added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Jan. 28, 2026 in New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":446435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2473,11623,116,28,122,43981,63284,63506,112,5239,63286,3487,1539,5243,63285,14457,67328,181577,114,188660,72232],"class_list":["post-446434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-advanced-micro-devices-inc","tag-apple-inc","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-caterpillar-inc","tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","tag-gold-comex-dec25","tag-markets","tag-micron-technology-inc","tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","tag-nvidia-corp","tag-palantir-technologies-inc","tag-pfizer-inc","tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","tag-sandisk-corp","tag-seagate-technology-holdings-plc","tag-silver-comex-sep25","tag-stock-markets","tag-teradyne-inc","tag-western-digital-corp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=446434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/446434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/446435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=446434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=446434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=446434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
