US Futures Fluctuate After Weak Session

2026-09-28 23:45 By Jam Kaimo Samonte 1 min. read

US stock futures fluctuated around the flatline on Tuesday after the major averages declined in the previous session, pressured by a rise in Treasury yields.

Investors also remained focused on geopolitical developments amid continued uncertainty surrounding US-Iran negotiations, although Saudi Arabia managed to restore oil flows through a key pipeline.

In regular trading on Monday, the Dow Jones fell 0.67%, the S&P 500 declined 0.77%, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.92%.

The losses came as Treasury yields continued to climb on expectations that persistent inflation could prompt the Federal Reserve to tighten monetary policy further.

The US 10-year Treasury yield moved above 5.2%, while the 30-year yield was at 5.55%.

Investors now await Tuesday’s consumer confidence, job openings, and labor turnover data for further indications about the health of the US economy.

In corporate news, AMD agreed to acquire World Labs in a deal valued at $8.2 billion.

US Stocks Slide as Bond Selloff Deepens
US stock indices closed lower on Monday as the standoff between the US and Iran fueled oil-market volatility and dragged down bonds. The S&P 500 fell 0.8%, the Dow shed 347 points, and the Nasdaq lost 1.1%. The renewed oil rally stoked concerns that rising inflationary pressures could trigger further Fed rate hikes. The bond selloff deepened after President Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The 10-year yield reached a 19-year high. The PCE inflation report and jobs report due this week will provide further insight into the health of the US economy and the potential path for the Fed.

Nvidia was the exception, rising 1.7% after increasing its share buyback plan by a record $150 billion.
