Investors are starting the week in an upbeat mood as techs shine ahead of a pivotal Fed policy call.

US stock futures rose on Monday ahead of a key Federal Reserve rate decision, as investors set aside worries about stalled interest rates to focus on hopes around AI developments.

Techs were on the rise, buoyed by AI buzz ahead of the kickoff of chipmaker's Nvidia's annual conference on Monday.
