Stock Futures Decline Following Wall Street's Sharp Drop
Stock index futures fell on Thursday after U.S. equities closed sharply lower the previous day due to a surge in Treasury yields and expectations of additional interest rate hikes this year. The selloff was driven by rising bond yields, which increased borrowing costs for corporations and raised concerns about economic growth. Investors are now factoring in more aggressive monetary tightening from central banks into their outlooks. Futures contracts on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) were down 0.28%, while S&P 500 futures also declined, reflecting broader market pessimism.
