US Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Fall 0.2%, S&P 500 & Nasdaq Futures Slip as Nvidia Gains, Oil Stays Near $100 and Yields Remain Elevated; Check Wall Street Outlook

US Stock Market Today: US stock market futures edged lower on Monday as technology shares took a breather from recent record highs, while investors assessed Treasury yields, oil prices and the latest US employment data for clues about the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate path. Reuters reported that Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were lower ahead of the Wall Street opening bell.  

The latest moves come after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report helped reduce expectations of another Federal Reserve rate hike in October. At the same time, elevated bond yields and crude oil prices remain potential headwinds for equities. 

Dow Jones Futures Today

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were down around 0.2% in Monday’s premarket trading, pointing to a softer opening for the blue-chip index. Investors are weighing the impact of the latest labour-market data against continued pressure from elevated Treasury yields and energy prices.

The Dow’s direction will also depend on whether investors continue rotating toward economically sensitive stocks or remain cautious because of borrowing costs and geopolitical risks.

S&P 500 Today 

S&P 500 futures were slightly lower ahead of the opening bell. Reuters reported that US index futures dipped as technology stocks eased from their recent highs.

The benchmark index remains sensitive to movements in Treasury yields because higher yields can increase financing costs and reduce the relative appeal of equities.

Nasdaq Today 

Nasdaq futures also moved lower as investors took a more cautious approach to technology stocks following recent gains.

The Nasdaq had reached a fresh peak in the previous session after weaker US employment data reduced expectations for an October Fed rate increase. However, semiconductor stocks were under pressure in premarket trading.

Intel fell more than 4% in premarket trading, while Micron Technology slipped about 0.3%. In contrast, Nvidia gained around 0.5% after touching a record high on Friday.
