U.S. stock futures are higher in premarket trading after a strong week on Wall Street that drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average to record highs.

Tech is leading the gains after chip stocks took a hit on the first two days of July. Memory chip makers along with semiconductor equipment stocks dragged on tech as traders took profits and rotated into other sectors, including financials and healthcare last week.

Investor focus this week will be on the FOMC minutes on Wednesday afternoon along with ISM services data this morning.
