Markets
U.S. stock futures are around 0.5% higher to start the week as investors size up the volatile swings in crypto markets, as well as China’s intensifying campaign to rein in raw material prices. Equities are coming off a mixed week in which the DJIA logged its fourth negative week in five, while the S&P notched two consecutive weeks of losses for the first time since February. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite inched up 0.3% last week, snapping a four-week losing streak.
