$TRUMP Breaking: US stock index futures edge up, Brent crude rises 1%, and a pivotal week begins

The week opens with a slight rise in Wall Street futures and a nearly 1% jump in oil. Tokyo is closed for Sports Day, and the US bond market is closed for Columbus Day, while US stocks trade as usual. Liquidity is thin in Asia and at the start of the US session, which could amplify the impact of weekend news ahead of a busy week of bank earnings and US inflation data.
Dow Jones: 51,695.60 (+40.40 points, +0.08%), ranging between 51,667.60 and 51,726.10.
S&P 500: 7,820.40 (+8.90, +0.11%), ranging between 7,813.40 and 7,824.10.
Nasdaq 100: 30,956.00 (+72.80, +0.24%), ranging between 30,901.70 and 30,963.10.
Russell 2000: 2,808.70 (+1.70, +0.06%).
VIX fear index (October contract): 17.03 (-0.03, -0.18%).
For comparison: Spot indexes ended Friday at 7,811.51 (S&P), 51,655.18 (Dow), and 27,366.17 (Nasdaq), and the S&P closed at a record 7,818.93 on Tuesday. Futures prices include a carry spread relative to spot indexes, so they should not be compared directly.
