Market Drivers

There weren't many significant catalysts for the markets on Monday. However, the tentative end of the writer's strike lifted media companies such as Paramount Global (PARA) and Netflix (NFLX) in premarket trade. Additionally, President Joe Biden plans to support the United Auto Workers strike against the Big Three automakers during his visit to Michigan.
