US futures are pointing higher.
US stocks notched another win last week despite investor jitters over trade tensions. The Dow closed down 0.3% on Friday, while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq added 0.1%.
This is a big week in the trade conflict between the US and China.
Trade talks between the countries have resumed, with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin set to travel to Beijing for discussions later this week.
Trump has threatened to increase existing tariffs and enact a third wave of penalties on Chinese goods if the two sides can't broker a permanent truce before the March 1 deadline.
Investors are also wary that Americans could face another possible government shutdown later this week.
Budget talks between Democrats and Republicans ground to a halt over the weekend in a dispute over immigration policy, which appeared to dash hopes that a deal could be reached by Monday to allow Congress ample time to pass legislation before a Friday deadline.
