US stock futures were mostly steady overnight Monday as Wall Street looked to regroup after a tech-led slide to begin the final stretch of 2025.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F), the S&P 500 (ES=F), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq (NQ=F) all hovered around the flatline.
The major Wall Street indexes fell modestly Monday, as Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) led megacaps lower amid a small rotation out of tech stocks. Traders are reassessing — and perhaps taking profits before the end of the year.
Meanwhile, precious metals rebounded after a brutal day for that trade. Silver (SI=F) futures rose more than 5% after the metal’s biggest one-day drop in over five years. Gold (GC=F) futures also ticked higher.
Tuesday brings the release of the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting, at which it cut interest rates for a third straight time but signaled it may pause those cuts in the months ahead.

The central bank’s meeting readout could add fresh insight for investors looking for clues on the Fed’s next move in January, with the divisions that have gripped the central bank in 2025 likely to continue into the new year.
