US stock futures fall amid September concerns

U.S. stock futures declined at the start of trading today, Tuesday, following a session that ended with losses, despite Wall Street indices posting monthly gains in August. Futures for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 fell amid rising economic tensions due to soaring oil prices and higher interest rates after the United States targeted launch platforms in Iran. Investor data also showed market hesitancy as September approaches, which is expected to be one of the worst months for stocks, with investors awaiting U.S. jobs data and other economic reports.
