U.S. stock futures slipped early Monday ahead of another week of big earnings reports. Oil services company Halliburton kicks it off early Monday, with closely watched quarterly results from tech giants, including Google-parent Alphabet, Facebook, and Twitter, coming later in the week. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell by 0.2 percent, while those of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100 edged down by 0.1 percent. All three of the major U.S. indexes posted weekly gains last week, despite dropping on Friday due largely to weakness among technology and consumer staple shares. Global stocks fell Monday as U.S. bond yields neared 3 percent, approaching peaks that have rattled markets in the past. [MarketWatch, Reuters] |
