US Stock Futures Slip Amid Rising Treasury Yields and Middle East Tensions
US stock futures declined on 24 August amid rising Treasury yields, mixed technology sector performance, and escalating tensions in the Middle East related to Iran. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures all slipped following a week of losses for major indexes. Investors remain cautious about inflation risks, potential US sanctions on Iran, and the impact of elevated bond yields on economic growth and asset valuations. Market participants await key inflation data and Federal Reserve policy comments later this week.
