Stock futures Monday edge higher, with defensive sectors like healthcare and utilities showing modest premarket gains, highlighting investor caution ahead of macroeconomic data releases. "We're just not going to have enough supply for the projected demand compared to how the world was prior," Bloomberg commodity index products manager Jim Wiederhold told Yahoo Finance. "Where it was all fossil fuel energy-driven, now it's going to be more metals in focus." Shares of Electronic Arts jumped 4.5% after the video game company announced that it's going to be taken private in a $55 billion deal . U.S. mergers and acquisitions that have been announced have surpassed $1 trillion this year, up 29% from the same time a year ago, according to Goldman Sachs. Stock futures Monday point to a mixed open as crude oil prices dip 1.4%, potentially easing energy sector inflationary pressures. Energy-related stock futures are marginally higher, signaling potential sector rotation.
