  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.
  
  “The assassination attempt is shocking emotionally but probably doesn’t do much to either the political trajectory of the campaign or the outlook for the U.S. economy,” Christopher Smart, founder and managing partner at Arbroath Group, told MarketWatch.
  
  Betting markets showed a further rise in the probability of a Trump victory after the former president was hit in the ear by a bullet at the Saturday rally outside Pittsburgh. One audience member was killed and others were injured. The Secret Service killed the shooter.
