Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq push higher to start holiday-shortened trading week

US stock futures edged higher to open a delayed, holiday-shortened week of trading flavored by earnings, the Federal Reserve's rate path, and the impact of a strong American dollar.

Futures attached to the major indexes continued rising apace after a Monday closure for Presidents Day. S&P 500 (ES=F) futures fluttered up 0.2%, hovering just shy of the January all-time high. Futures on the Nasdaq (NQ=F) rose 0.2%, eyeing a fourth consecutive week of gains, while futures attached to the Dow Jones (YM=F) also gained about 0.2%, regaining ground lost on Friday.
