US equity-index futures edged higher Monday, hinting the seven-month global stock rally still has momentum as strong tech earnings and easing US China trade tensions buoy sentiment. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts rose 0.2% after Friday’s gains, with optimism offsetting worries about a tech-heavy advance. Across Asia, shares added 0.3% and South Korea notched a fresh peak, while Chinese indexes fell. Markets in Japan and cash Treasuries were shut for a holiday.
