U.S. stock futures are sharply higher in premarket trading and extending last week’s record highs.

The bullish move comes after U.S. and China officials cooled tensions over the weekend, laying the groundwork for President Donald Trump and China President Xi Jinping to clinch a trade deal this week.

“I think we have a very successful framework for the leaders to discuss on Thursday,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur.

“I have a lot of respect for President Xi, and we are going to come away with the deal,” Trump said on Monday from Air Force One.

Along with the trade talks this week, earnings ramp up with reports due from Mag 7 names Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL).

Snapshot (as of 7 AM ET)
