April 5 (Reuters) – Futures pointed to a higher opening for Wall Street’s indexes on Monday, as investors cheered strong jobs data and waited for a report on the services sector with signals that 2021 could see the best annual economic growth in nearly four decades.

With speedy vaccinations and additional government stimulus helping the S&P 500 and the Dow clinch all-time highs, investors will now look to progress on a massive infrastructure plan and the upcoming corporate earnings season for insight on the sustainability of the rally.

“On the one hand, you have concerns about potential (interest) rate rise sooner than promised. At the same time, there is starting to be a little understanding that perhaps earnings estimates are too low,” Hayes added.
