Stock futures inch higher on Monday after Dow closes at another record: Live updates

The stock market futures climbed slightly after the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached a new all-time high. The Dow added 45 points, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures also saw minor increases. This uptick follows a robust trading session driven by positive feelings surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's Treasury secretary pick, Scott Bessent, which investors believe may support financial markets. However, Kohl's shares dropped 4% after the announcement of its CEO's departure. Overall, despite recent gains, there's cautious optimism about how new administration policies will impact the market moving forward, especially with a holiday-shortened trading week ahead.
