Stock futures rise slightly after Dow posts third straight losing week: Live updates

S&P 500 futures rose 0.23% and Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.27% Sunday night, opening the week with modest gains after the Dow Jones Industrial Average logged its third consecutive weekly decline. The premarket advance signals a tentative attempt to reverse recent selling pressure concentrated in the blue-chip index.

The futures pop follows a mixed Friday session that left the major averages diverging. While the Dow extended its losing streak, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq managed to hold steadier ground through the week. Sunday's overnight futures session suggests buyers are testing support levels as the new trading week begins, though the gains remain small enough to reverse before the opening bell.

The third straight weekly loss for the Dow underscores ongoing rotation concerns and profit-taking in industrial and cyclical names that had rallied earlier in the year. Futures activity Sunday night reflects positioning ahead of a week traders will watch for confirmation of whether the index stabilizes or extends its pullback.
