The futures traded slightly higher Monday morning, as Wall Street not only keeps a sharp eye on what will be a huge week for second-quarter earnings, but the political world is focused on President Trump’s meeting in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The trend of buying the dips has not worked as well for investors as it has in prior years, and many have been considering how they want their investments positioned for the longer term.
