Stock futures were little changed on Monday night, following a winning session in which the major averages recovered a chunk of their losses suffered at the end of last week.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures ticked higher by just 19 points. S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures hovered just below the flatline.
The S&P 500 and Dow each jumped more than 1% on the day, marking the former’s biggest one-day gain since May 27. The broad market index also clawed back more than half of Friday’s steep decline. The Dow had its best day since Sept. 11, broke a five-day losing streak and recovered two-thirds of Friday’s losses.
The moves came after a Truth Social post from President Donald Trump eased investor worries about growing trade tensions between China and the U.S. “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine,” Trump’s Sunday post said.
That sent tech stocks such as Oracle, AMD and Nvidia up broadly, leading the market higher. The tech-heavy Nasdaq notched a more than 2% gain.
“Trade policy remains a key driver for US financial markets this year, and last week saw a sharp re-escalation in tensions between the US and China,” Ulrike Hoffmann-Burchardi, global head of equities at UBS Global Wealth Management, said in a note. “With hardened positions on both sides, we expect increased equity market volatility into the end of the month. However, the history of Trump-Xi negotiations suggests that escalation is often followed by tactical truces, and rare earth minerals versus shipping fees could ultimately seal a deal.”
Investors on Tuesday will look to keep this momentum going, as major banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs are set to report third-quarter earnings.
Santos today announces the resignation of Ms Sherry Duhe as Chief Financial Officer and the appointment of Mr Lachlan Harris as Acting Chief Financial Officer.

Mr Harris has been appointed Acting Chief Financial Officer and will be undertaking a handover with Ms Duhe.

Safran is GE’s partner in LEAP jet engine production
New Safran line in Morocco will expand LEAP assembly for Airbus
French company also launches new maintenance plant in Morocco
CEO cites economic stability in Morocco, increased resilience
RABAT/PARIS, Oct 13 (Reuters) – French aerospace group Safran (SAF.PA), opens new tab signed deals with Morocco on Monday to set up a new engine assembly line for Airbus (AIR.PA), opens new tab jets and a new maintenance and repair plant near Casablanca, company officials said.
Morocco has encouraged investment by aerospace suppliers in recent years, hoping to match its success in car manufacturing by creating hubs to shorten supply chains and share expertise.

Safran will invest 200 million euros ($231 million) to build the assembly line, which will supply 25% of the company’s Airbus-related output or 350 LEAP-1A engines annually, Chair Ross McInnes said.
“This will be Safran’s only assembly line outside France and will be ready in 2028,” McInnes said, following a signing ceremony chaired by King Mohammed VI.
Safran co-produces LEAP engines with GE Aerospace (GE.N), opens new tab through their CFM International venture. The LEAP-1A competes with Pratt & Whitney (RTX.N), opens new tab to power the Airbus A320neo, while the LEAP-1B is the sole engine on the Boeing 737 MAX. A third variant, the LEAP-1C, is used by China’s COMAC for its C919.
The CEO of partially state-owned Safran, Olivier Andries, said in a telephone interview that Morocco had been chosen in part for its “economic stability,” comments likely to resonate in France which is facing a budget crisis.
Morocco, where Safran already has several facilities, has a workforce with ample skills and the expansion is part of efforts to increase the resilience of Safran’s supplies, he added.
Until now, Safran’s Villaroche plant outside Paris has supplied virtually all Airbus LEAP-1A engines, with the capacity of as many as 1,000 engines per year spread between three lines.
MOROCCO EXPORTS
The maintenance and repair plant will be operational in 2027 for a total investment of 120 million euros and an annual capacity of 150 engines, McInnes said.
The latest investments follow wider business deals in the wake of last year’s visit to Morocco by French President Emmanuel Macron, cementing ties after years of tensions.
“Safran’s new investments place Morocco among the few countries capable of producing complete aircraft engines,” said Industry Minister Ryad Mezzour, hoping the new facilities would attract additional suppliers.
Morocco has one of Africa’s most diversified economies and is the second industrial nation on the continent.
With 150 firms, Morocco’s aerospace sector employs 25,000 people. Its exports rose to 26 billion dirhams ($2.8 billion) in 2024 from 21.8 billion dirhams a year earlier.
“Safran’s plants will help Morocco double its aerospace industry exports,” the industry minister said.
To attract investors, Morocco offers incentives covering up to 30% of capital expenditures, along with access to real estate in specialised industrial zones such as Midparc, where Safran will establish its facilities near Casablanca’s airports.
“84% of operators in the aerospace sector are foreign investors,” employment minister Younes Sekkouri told Reuters.
Morocco has seven vocational training institutes for aerospace and plans to train 10,000 new talents, including in high-tech industry segments, by 2030, he said.
Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab is among aerospace companies that have also historically spearheaded aerospace investments in Morocco, where Royal Air Maroc is in the process of renewing its fleet.
