US stock futures higher

U.S. stock futures climbed on Sunday night after Wall Street logged in its third consecutive weekly gain, but fell short of breaking the all-time high set on February 19.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up by 72 points, or 0.3 percent. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures each traded higher by 0.2 percent. 

The S&P 500 climbed by 0.6 percent last week and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.1 percent. The Dow gained by 1.8 percent last week.

Despite those gains, the S&P 500 failed to notch a fresh record high after flirting with the milestone for most of last week. Through Friday’s close, the S&P 500 was just 0.6 percent below 3,393.52, the intraday record set in February.
