S&P 500 futures rose 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.3%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 87 points, or 0.2%.

These moves came after major averages rebounded on Friday following significant losses earlier in the week. The decline began with a sell-off in the technology sector led by software stocks. As investors showed a preference for risk aversion, Bitcoin also fell for a time before partially recovering.

In the previous session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 1,206.95 points, or 2.47%, at 50,115.67. On Friday, the Dow surpassed the 50,000 level for the first time. The S&P 500 closed up 1.97% at 6,932.30, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 2.18% to 23,031.21, bringing the S&P 500 back into positive territory for 2026.

Bitcoin climbed above $70,000 on Friday after dipping below $61,000 late Thursday, while software stocks such as Salesforce closed higher. Overall, the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) rose 3.5%, marking its first positive day since entering a bear market at the end of last month.

Investors will be watching for the delayed January employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Wednesday. The release was initially scheduled for last Friday but was postponed due to the partial government shutdown. This follows last week’s ADP report showing private-sector employment rose by just 22,000 in January, far below expectations. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones expect an increase of 55,000.

The January consumer price index data, also delayed by the shutdown, will be released on Friday. The market’s recent move away from technology could continue this week if earnings reports are positive. Coca-Cola and Ford Motor are both set to report earnings on Tuesday.
