US stock futures fall on September worries
U.S. stock futures declined at the start of the day, despite Wall Street indices having achieved monthly gains in August. Dow Jones futures fell by 0.54%, the S&P 500 by 0.58%, and Nasdaq 100 by 1%. Despite the monthly increases, Wall Street closed lower after the Dow dropped more than 370 points, driven by rising oil prices and concerns over geopolitical tensions, especially following the U.S. targeting launch pads in Iran. Investors are expected to remain cautious in mid-September as key economic data are released, including the U.S. August employment report, which is forecasted to add around 53,000 jobs.
