Stock futures were little changed Sunday night after the S&P 500 scaled to fresh record levels, with traders set to wrap up a strong 2025.
S&P 500 futures were up marginally, along with those tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Nasdaq-100 futures traded around the flatline as well.
Those moves come after the S&P 500 on Friday hit an intraday high of 6,945.77 before ending the session just below breakeven.
It has been a banner year on Wall Street, with the benchmark index up 17.7% in 2025. The Dow has gained 14.5%, putting it on track for its strongest year since 2021. The Nasdaq Composite has outperformed year-to-date, up 22.2%.
Wall Street is also in the throes of the Santa Claus rally period, a historically strong time for the stock market. Since 1950, the S&P 500 has averaged a gain of more than 1% between the last five trading days of the year and the first two of the new year, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac.
