S&P 500 futures declined as rising U.S. Treasury yields and higher oil prices weighed on Wall Street ahead of key earnings reports from Nvidia, Walmart, and Target. The increase in long-term bond yields reduces the present value of future earnings, hitting tech stocks hardest and stalling recent market gains. Elevated oil prices, driven by ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions, add inflationary pressure, diminishing hopes for near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts. Investors will closely watch whether the market can hold key support levels or if a larger pullback is underway, especially with major retail and tech earnings due this week.
