Global stock markets slip as holiday-shortened week begins.

Stock futures for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 slipped on Monday evening as investors prepare for a holiday-shortened week of trading. Despite a weak finish on Friday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted their best weekly performances since March, with the S&P 500 rising 2.6% and the Nasdaq adding 3.25%. Investors are trying to gauge how last week's strong market sentiment will hold up in a shortened trading week that is light on economic data. In earnings, investors will look toward a quarterly report from shipping giant FedEx on Tuesday after the closing bell.
