- S&P 500 looked to extend its record high as major indexes opened steady to start the week, per Investopedia's market coverage.
- Dow and Nasdaq slipped while Berkshire and eBay drew focus, per WSJ's live updates, and Bloomberg reported US futures dropping ahead of chipmaker earnings and inflation data.
Why it matters: The S&P 500's record-high chase is undercut by Dow and Nasdaq slips and declining futures in rival coverage, making chipmaker earnings and the inflation print — the two catalysts Bloomberg explicitly names — the swing factors for whether the rally extends or stalls this week.
