Monday’s S&P 500 index futures session opened the week on a strong note as buyers seized control early and maintained momentum throughout the day.

Overnight trade was steady, with futures dipping to a low of 6,772 before climbing toward 6,860 ahead of the open. The regular session opened around 6,788 and quickly established a bullish tone, with bids strengthening through mid-morning.

A brief consolidation mid-session gave way to a renewed push higher in the afternoon, carrying futures to fresh intraday highs into the close. By day’s end, S&P 500 index futures settled at 6,856, up 103 handles or 1.53% and finishing near the session high.

The decisive upside move trimmed recent losses and set a constructive tone after two consecutive weekly declines, with bulls eyeing the 6,900 zone as the next key resistance level.

Among the top components of the index, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) led as the biggest gainer. The chipmaker advanced $10.90, or 5.79%, to close at $199.05 for the day.

That performance was roughly 3.8× stronger than the broader market’s 1.53% advance, with S&P 500 futures settling at 6,856.75, up 103 handles for the session.

The biggest loser ended up being Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B). For the day, the conglomerate declined just $2.08, or 0.42%, to close at $496.98.
