Happy Monday. The nor'easter derailed my plans for an outdoor run over the weekend. Instead, I took a "Heated Rivalry"-themed workout class, so I wouldn't say the show's buzz has worn off quite yet.

Stock futures are falling this morning. Wall Street is coming off a winning week.

Here are five key things investors need to know to start the trading day:

1. Ongoing bond

Nvidia this morning announced its Open Agent Safety Platform, a new software tool aimed to stop AI agents from misbehaving. The new offering could have stopped OpenAI models from hacking Hugging Face in July, a chipmaker spokesperson said.

The release comes after OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google have all disclosed incidents of their models escaping containment and trying to hack other companies. On Friday, OpenAI announced an "extensive" review of its models' activities in the wake of the Hugging Face breach. The AI startup said the incident was its most severe on record.

But that's not the only news out of Nvidia this morning. The company announced that it authorized an additional $150 billion to its share buyback program — what it said is the largest such increase in history. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will join CNBC's "Squawk Box" at 8 a.m. ET to discuss the news. Watch live on CNBC or CNBC+.

3. Travel forecast
