The Dow Jones Industrial Average looks set to continue its record-breaking run on Monday, with stock futures pointing higher. Investors were largely shrugging off a failed coup attempt in Turkey over the weekend, which left about 300 people dead.

The Dow  set new all-time highs each of the previous five sessions. After trading down during Friday's session, the index picked up some steam in the afternoon and finished higher by 10 points. The S&P 500 fared nearly as well, although ended up in the red on Friday.

Oil prices traded lower as Brent crude futures fell 0.82 percent to trade at $47.24 per barrel, while US WTI crude futures also dropped 0.81 percent to trade at $45.60 a barrel.

In The News

Another shooting tragedy struck the United States this weekend. On Sunday morning, three police officers died and several others were injured during an early morning shooting on Airline Highway near Old Hammond Highway in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. One suspect is dead and two others may still be at large.

History has shown that in the wake of these events, gun and other law enforcement-related stocks have seen tremendous attention, with some small-cap stocks running up as much as 110 percent in one day.

Turkish officials say nearly 8,000 police officers have been suspended, reportedly on suspicion of having links to the coup attempt at the weekend. Some 6,000 members of the judiciary and military, including generals, have been detained. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to purge state bodies of the "virus" that caused the revolt. Capital punishment was abolished in 2004 as part of Turkey's bid to join the European Union. Nobody has been executed in the country since 1984.
