Stock futures were lower Monday night as investors await key earnings from retailers and chipmaker Nvidia this week.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.08%. S&P futures shed about 0.05%, while Nasdaq 100 futures traded down 0.05%.

In after-hours trading, Trump Media & Technology Group shed about 4%, giving back earlier gains, on news that the company is in talks to buy cryptocurrency trading firm Bakkt. Walmart shares rose 0.8% ahead of earnings due before the bell on Tuesday.

Stocks attempted to make a comeback in the latest trading session. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6%, snapping a four-day losing streak, while the S&P 500 added about 0.4%.

“The market has been in an uptrend because of a strong economy, the Fed continually cutting rates, and strong Q3 earnings,” said Andrew Slimmon, Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s head of the applied equity advisors team. “The market is set up well for equities, and investors are not going to see the pullback they want.”
