U.S. stock futures were little changed Monday night, after the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit a fresh all-time high.

Dow futures fell by 39 points, or 0.08%. S&P 500 futures were off by 0.06%, while Nasdaq 100 futures added 0.03%.

Investors are coming off a second straight day of gains. The 30-stock Dow rose 0.04%, notching fresh highs on an intraday and closing basis. The S&P 500 gained about 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.9%.

Tech stocks rallied Monday, building on their Friday comeback and helping lift the overall market. Investors are hopeful the market can sustain its upward advance after last week’s sell-off — led by fears around software and megacap tech — failed to meaningfully hurt the market on a technical basis.

Indeed, the S&P 500 has managed to recover support above its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, after dipping below them last week, and many asset classes are outperforming the index — bullish signals as far as traders are concerned.

“We don’t think that it’s going to be a clean trade,” Sonali Basak, chief investment strategist at iCapital, told CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Monday. “It will be choppy, you have to be selective, but there will be winners through this.”

Corporate earnings season continues with Coca-Cola reporting before the open Tuesday. Hasbro and Spotify will also share results.

The latest retail sales report will be released Tuesday morning. Investors are awaiting the big jobs report on Wednesday, and the consumer price index on Friday.
