    January 26, 2026, 6:24 AM EST. US stock futures edged lower Monday amid a cautious mood ahead of a pivotal week featuring a Federal Reserve rate decision and earnings from major technology companies. Dow futures traded flat while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures fell 0.1% and 0.3% respectively after successive weekly losses.

Meanwhile, US Rare Earth shares surged 30% on plans for a $1.6 billion government investment.
