Stock futures surged to session highs on Monday, with Nasdaq 100 contracts jumping over 2%, after President Donald Trump offered reassurance that U.S.-China trade relations “will all be fine,” following sharp market swings triggered by tariff threats in prior sessions.
Here are some of Monday’s biggest stock movers:
Biggest stock gainers
- BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) +7% – Crypto-linked stocks mostly advanced Monday as major digital assets rebounded from a steep weekend sell-off. The rally followed comments from President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance signaling openness to a trade deal with China, easing concerns after Friday’s tariff announcement. Notable gainers included Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) +3%, MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) +2%, Sharplink Gaming (NASDAQ:SBET) +4%, Bit Digital (NASDAQ:BTBT) +6%, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) +3%, and CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK) +5%.
- Nvidia (NVDA) +4% – Chip giant led premarket gains among the Magnificent Seven tech stocks Monday, rebounding from Friday’s selloff after President Donald Trump signaled openness to a potential trade deal with China to ease recent tensions. Tesla (TSLA) +2.6%, Amazon (AMZN) +2%, Apple (AAPL) +1.7%, Alphabet (GOOG) +1.7%, Microsoft (MSFT) +1.6%, and Meta (META) +1.5% also advanced in early trading.
- MARA Holdings (NASDAQ:MARA) +4% – Shares rose after acquiring 400 BTC worth $46.29M from institutional crypto liquidity provider FalconX, boosting its total holdings to over 53,000 BTC. The move follows a rebound in Bitcoin and the broader crypto market after Friday’s historic crash.
- Argan (NYSE:AGX) +4% – Shares soared after JPMorgan upgraded the stock to Overweight from Neutral and added it to the Positive Catalyst Watch, citing benefits from rising AI-driven power demand. Analyst Michael Fairbanks highlighted the company’s record backlog, robust pipeline of large gas projects, and “unprecedented” pricing tailwinds as key drivers of multi-year growth and margin expansion. He also pointed to Argan’s strong balance sheet, disciplined capital returns, and proven execution track record. Fairbanks said AGX is “uniquely positioned” to capitalize on the next phase of AI infrastructure buildout, setting a price target of $315, about 23% above Friday’s close of $256.15.
