What happened

U.S. stock futures rose on Monday, with the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 all moving higher after a lower Friday close. The gains came as investors awaited earnings from Apple (AAPL) and Palantir (PLTR) and watched the performance of Ryanair, United States Lime & Minerals, and Inovio. Treasury yields were 4.91% for the 10‑year and 4.59% for the 2‑year, and the FedWatch tool priced a 72.9% chance of a rate hike after the December meeting.
