On Saturday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said a U.S.-China trade agreement would go "way beyond" previous efforts to open China's markets to U.S. companies.

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, Mnuchin said that he believed Washington and Beijing are getting close to the final round of concluding issues.

On the earnings front, major U.S. banks JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo reported strong first quarter earnings last week, although the latter lowered its forecast on a key lending benchmark tied closely to profitability.
