Stock Futures Dip as Bond Yields Tick Higher; Oil Gains

U.S. stock futures were under pressure early Thursday, as rising Treasury yields weighed on investor sentiment. Here’s where major futures stood as of 4:42 a.m. ET:

  • Dow Futures: 44,653.00, down 255 pts (-0.57%)
  • S&P 500 Futures: 6,288.50, down 35.75 pts (-0.57%)
  • Nasdaq Futures: 22,888.25, down 125 pts (-0.54%)

The decline comes alongside a modest rise in the 10-year Treasury yield, now at 4.38%, up 3.4 basis points. The move suggests investors are positioning for potentially firmer economic data or recalibrating expectations around Fed policy.

Meanwhile, crude oil prices edged higher, with WTI crude up $0.27 to $66.84 per barrel (+0.41%), offering support to energy stocks in premarket trading.

Futures fell Thursday evening after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1.
