Last week, the Dow scored its biggest weekly percentage gain since October 2022, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each logged their strongest weekly jump since November 2022. The economic calendar on Monday includes expected remarks from Fed Governor Lisa Cook at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time and the release of the Fed’s senior loan survey at 2 p.m. Meanwhile, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was up about nine basis points on Monday at around 4.
