Shares of Oracle soared before the New York opening bell as investors cheered its deal with video-sharing app TikTok
U.S. stock futures rose Monday, signaling stocks may start the week on a firm footing after a bout of volatility driven by swings in technology shares.
Futures tied to the S&P 500 climbed 1%, while contracts linked to the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite gained 1.3%. The Nasdaq last week suffered its biggest one-week decline since the market crisis of March. Monday’s advance would extend a spell of outsize moves in both directions for global markets. Stocks have been buffeted by uncertainty about the U.S. presidential election, a slowing recovery in the world economy from the shock of Covid-19, and gyrations in tech shares that had driven markets higher since the spring.
“We’re shifting into an environment of lower returns and higher volatility and this is not inconsistent with that,” said James McCormick, global head of desk strategy at NatWest Markets. “This isn’t a message that we’re going back to February, March markets,” Mr. McCormick added, referring to the historic declines that took place when countries locked down to control Covid-19. “But I think the upside is going be a bit capped here until we get through some of these events and risks.”
