U.S. stock-market futures fell slightly on Monday, after Friday’s summit between U.S. and Russian leaders ended without a major breakthrough and as investors await this week’s Fed gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyo.

These stocks were poised to make moves Monday:

Crypto Stocks - Major cryptocurrencies retreated to drag the market’s total value below $4 trillion after it scaled record heights last week.

Bitcoin fell as much as 2.2% to about $115,000 while Ether, the second-largest token, at one point shed more than 4% to dip below $4,300 on Monday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Crypto stocks sank in premarket trading. BitMine, DeFi Dev, Upexi, and Bullish fell 5%; SharpLink Gaming fell 4%; Bit Digital fell 3%; Strategy, MARA Holdings, Coinbase, and Riot Platforms fell 2%; Circle fell 1%.

Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly - Novo Nordisk shares advanced 4.1% after the drugmaker’s blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy received US approval to treat a serious form of liver disease, beating rival Eli Lilly & Co. to the US market. Eli Lilly fell 1.1%.

UnitedHealth - UnitedHealth was up 2.8% in premarket trading after shares of the health insurer jumped 12% Friday for their best daily percentage gain since March 24, 2020, when they rose 13%, according to Dow Jones Market Data. UnitedHealth rose 21% last week, the stock’s best weekly performance in more than 16 years. Boosting the stock was the disclosure that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway had purchased roughly 5 million shares in the company, worth about $1.6 billion.

Dayforce - Thoma Bravo is in talks to acquire human resources management software provider Dayforce Inc., according to people familiar with the matter. Shares of Dayforce rose 21.4% in pre-market trading.

Soho House - A group of investors led by New York-based MCR Hotels is nearing a deal to take members' club operator Soho House private, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, valuing the group at $1.8 billion. The shares jumped 13.6% in pre-market trading.

Chinese ADRs - Some Chinese ADRs jumped in pre-market trading following reports of a potential easing of restrictions on local drama production, which analysts said would benefit content producers and long-form video platforms. Xunlei rose 20%; iQiyi rose 13%; Kingsoft Cloud rose 5%; XPeng and Li Auto rose 2%.

Solar Stocks - Solar stocks rose ahead of the open, building on big gains Friday. First Solar was up 2.8% and Sunrun climbed 2.4%. Enphase Energy rose 1.4%. The Trump administration released new guidance on clean energy tax credits Friday that were better than feared for solar companies.
