Stock futures moved higher on Monday hoping to gain traction after last week's declines and following the deadly terror attacks in Paris on Friday.

European stocks traded mixed with shares in Paris flat after initially falling at market open.

S&P 500 futures added 0.30%, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures climbed 0.19%, and Nasdaq futures gained 0.22%.

The New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq both confirmed via Twitter they will observe a moment of silence in remembrance of the Paris victims before the bell at 9:25 a.m. Est. 

Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren said Sunday in an interview with the Financial Times that he wants to keep a close eye on "commercial real estate and large syndicated loans" as risks in these areas could create imbalances and lead to interest rates increasing faster than expected. 

"It would be a reason to maybe think about raising rates a little more quickly than I otherwise would, given the same unemployment and inflation rate," Rosengren said during the interview. 

Rosengren seemed confident of a potential rate hike in December, but was more concerned with the pace of the rate increases over time. "Let's make sure this is actually a successful lift-off, let's not tighten so much that we weaken the economy and create a negative shock, and let's make sure we don't delay for so long that we get built-up inflationary pressures that cause us to react more in the future," he told the newspaper.

While other global markets slumped, oil and gold prices rose as investors fled to safe havens following the terrorist attack in Paris. West Texas Intermediate crude oil rose 1.74% and gold gained 0.70%.
