Stock futures rise after S&P 500 notches a fresh record high: Live updates

Stock futures rose Sunday evening as investors look to cap a stunning month for stocks.
S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each added about 0.1%. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 130 points, or 0.3%.
The market's swift recovery this month comes as investors continue to monitor the whipsaw of global trade negotiations, which can quickly sway market sentiment and pose an ongoing threat to the strength of this rally. Still, June's surge reflects the exuberance of investors who are relieved that most of the Trump administration's most dire tariff threats haven't been implemented.
This month, the S&P 500 is up 4.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq has jumped nearly 6.1%. The Dow, meanwhile, has added about 3.7% month to date.
U.S. equities are also coming off a fresh high on Friday, with the S&P 500 reaching a new record in more than four months after ending the session about 0.5% higher at 6,173.07 — overtaking its previous record of 6,147.43. At its low in April, the S&P 500 was down nearly 18% for the year when global trade and tariff tensions rocked the market.
The Nasdaq Composite hit an all-time high and closed at a record after adding about 0.5% on Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose nearly 1%.
Stocks on Friday had pulled back from their session highs after President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. is immediately "terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada" in response to Ottawa's decision to move forward with a digital services tax on American tech firms. But earlier in the day, stocks ran up after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said late Thursday that a framework between China and the U.S. on trade had been finalized, and that the Trump administration soon expects to reach deals with 10 major trading partners.
Investors remain confident that the strength in price indicates good news for the market moving forward, particularly as opportunities to buy the dip emerge.
"The bearish narratives—Middle East conflict, tariffs, soft economic data—keep getting invalidated by the price action," said Ken Mahoney, CEO of Mahoney Asset Management. "Every chance the market has had to break down has failed. Instead, it continues to do what bull markets do best: climb the wall of worry. We think this run can continue, not without volatility to the downside of course."

White House Reacts to Republican Calls for Zohran Mamdani's Deportation

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to a question about some Republican calls for the deportation of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Leavitt, "Does President Trump want Zohran Mamdani deported?" Leavitt lightly laughed and responded in part, "I haven't heard him say that. I haven't heard him call for that, but he certainly doesn't want this person to be elected." Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week after former governor Andrew Cuomo conceded the race. He would be the city's first Muslim and Indian American mayor if elected in November. Mamdani was born in Kampala, Uganda, to Indian parents and lived briefly in South Africa before moving to New York City when he was seven. He became an American citizen in 2018, shortly after graduating college. Doocy followed up with a question about GOP Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee's calls for denaturalization proceedings of Mamdani due in part to rap lyrics Mamdani allegedly wrote in 2017. He asked, "Does Trump think that's a worthwhile use of the attorney general's time?" Leavitt replied, "Well, I'll let the president speak to that. I have not seen those claims, but surely, if they are true, it's something that should be investigated." DOOCY: Does President Trump want Zohran Mamdani deported? LEAVITT: Heh. I haven't heard him say that. I haven't heard him call for that. DOOCY: Ogles has called for Bondi to explore denaturalization proceedings based on rap lyrics Mamdani wrote.

Trump's Task Force Sought to Clear an MS-13 Leader While Pursuing Abrego Garcia

For nearly six years, Task Force Vulcan, a federal law enforcement team set up by President Trump during his first term in the White House, was enormously successful in pursuing its central mission: taking down the leadership of the violent transnational street gang MS-13. But by this spring, the group was redirected into carrying out what appeared to be contradictory goals. The unit's agents and prosecutors were asked to unwind some of the charges they had brought against MS-13's highest-ranking leaders even as they diverted resources into prosecuting a defendant whose ties to the gang were far more tenuous but whose case had become a political liability for the Trump administration. In late April, Vulcan prosecutors were engaged in a pitched legal battle to dismiss the criminal case against an MS-13 leader named Vladimir Arévalo Chávez who was accused of serious crimes, including multiple murders. The goal was to release Mr. Arévalo from U.S. custody and send him back to his homeland in El Salvador. At the same time, the Vulcan team was assembling a criminal case against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man accused of belonging to the gang who had been wrongly deported to El Salvador. Prosecutors were seeking to free Mr. Abrego Garcia from Salvadoran custody and bring him back to the United States to face indictment on charges of smuggling undocumented immigrants. By any measure, the task force's split-screen mission was unusual as Vulcan team members unraveled indictments against some of the most senior members of MS-13 even as they began to build one against Mr. Abrego Garcia — a man who, according to the charges that were ultimately filed, appeared to be a midlevel functionary in the gang.
