Stock futures are little changed after losing session; Brent crude tops $99 per barrel: Live updates

U.S. stock futures are muted or falling to start a holiday-shortened week following a losing session. The Dow tumbled 1% while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also dropped. Market pressure stems from rising oil prices, with Brent crude topping $99 per barrel and edging toward $100. Investors are reacting to elevated bets on Federal Reserve rate hikes, debt concerns, and a slump in pharmaceutical stocks, specifically Amgen, which weighed on the Dow.
