US STOCKS-S&P 500 e-minis edge up after Biden pulls out of US presidential race
Jul 21, 2024 3:44 PM

(Updates to 6 p.m. ET Sunday)

NEW YORK, July 21 (Reuters) - S&P 500 e-mini futures

were up slightly late on Sunday after U.S. President Joe Biden

ended his reelection bid and endorsed Vice President Kamala

Harris to replace him as the Democratic candidate against

Republican Donald Trump.

S&P 500 e-minis were last up 0.1%.

Biden, who had been under pressure from fellow Democrats to

pull out of the race, said he will remain in his role as

president until the end of his term in January 2025.

Stocks rose last Monday as investor expectations of a Trump

win increased after a July 13 failed assassination attempt on

Trump.
