HONG KONG (CNNMoney)
Here are the four things you need to know before the opening bell rings in New York:
1. Holiday weekend hangover? U.S. stock futures were slightly lower ahead of the opening bell, raising questions over a possible retreat as investors consider the implications of new record highs.
2. How far we've come: U.S. stocks finished higher Thursday, and markets were closed Friday for the Fourth of July.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at an all-time high of around 17,068. Many see it as just a psychological threshold, but it's a level U.S. stocks have never reached before. And it comes a mere six months after the Dow crossed 16,000.
The S&P 500 also closed at a record level, hitting 1,985 for the first time. The tech-heavy Nasdaq rounded up the week up 2%.

3. Stock market movers -- PetSmart, GoPro: PetSmart (PETM) shares could be hot again on Monday after activist investor Jana Partners disclosed a 10% stake in the company and said it would pursue strategic changes -- including a possible sale.
GoPro (GPRO) shares were higher in premarket trading -- another sign that the camera company might be investors' favorite new momentum play.

4. Rough day for international markets: European markets were lower in early trading, with major indices posting declines of less than 1%. Asian markets ended mixed, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Tokyo's Nikkei both finishing in the negative territory.
