US stock futures edged higher on Monday as investors awaited fresh insights into growth prospects and the Federal Reserve's rate trajectory. S&P 500 futures pointed to a modest gain at the open, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.4%, boosted by Tesla shares climbing on speculation about eased self-driving car regulations. Gold advanced over 1%, with analysts at Goldman Sachs projecting the metal could hit $3,000 an ounce by 2025, driven by central bank demand and interest rate cuts. Bitcoin rebounded to $92,000 after its steepest two-day decline since the US election.
