  U.S. stock-index futures saw a modest rise Sunday night, as financial markets opened for the week following an apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump a day earlier at a campaign rally.
  
  Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average YM00, 0.13% rose 69 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures ES00, 0.10% were up 5.5 points, or 0.1%. Nasdaq-100 futures NQ00, 0.12% gained 8 points, or less than 0.1%, at 20,532.
