  1. Stock futures little changed as tech slips, oil prices rise

    US stock futures are stagnant with Asian markets trading flat amid investor anticipation of US sanctions on Iran and Nvidia's financial results. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq slipped on Monday, while the Dow gained slightly. Rising Iran tensions, Treasury yields, and the US-Canada trade spat are key market concerns.

    Why it matters

    Global markets are cautious due to looming US-Iran tensions and trade friction between the US and Canada, which has weakened the Canadian dollar. The market reaction has led to a dip in global shares and oil prices. Investors are now focused on Nvidia's earnings report, the PCE inflation report, and a speech by Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole.

    What is confirmed

    • The S&P 500 fell 0.27% and Nasdaq 0.63%, while the Dow gained 0.21% on Monday.
    • Asian shares are mostly lower as bond market pressure mounts.
    • Oil prices have declined at the start of the week.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Indian indices Sensex and Nifty showed mixed results with marginal gains and selling pressure.

    What to watch next

    • Nvidia earnings report
    • PCE inflation report
    • Kevin Warsh's speech at Jackson Hole

  2. Asian markets flat as investors await Iran sanctions and Nvidia results

    Stock futures remain stagnant while Asian markets trade flat as investors anticipate news on US sanctions against Iran and financial results from Nvidia. Indian indices Sensex and Nifty showed mixed results, with some reports citing marginal gains and others citing selling pressure. Global shares and oil prices have dipped as the market reacts to looming US-Iran tensions and trade friction between the US and Canada, which has weakened the Canadian dollar.

    Why it matters

    Rising global bond yields continue to pressure equity valuations, particularly in the technology sector. Heightened geopolitical instability in the Middle East is currently limiting the upside for benchmark indices.

    What is confirmed

    • Asian shares are trading flat ahead of Nvidia results and news regarding Iran sanctions.
    • US-Iran tensions are influencing market caution.

    Still unconfirmed

    • The Canadian dollar is slipping due to trade tensions with the US.
    • Sensex and Nifty ended marginally higher on Friday.
    • Sensex and Nifty ended lower amid selling pressure.

  3. Bond sell-off pressures global stocks and tech futures

    Stock futures remain largely flat following a third consecutive losing day for the S&P 500. A deepening global bond rout is driving yields higher and weighing on Wall Street, specifically triggering a slide in Nasdaq futures. This volatility extends to Asian markets, which are positioned for losses as bond jitters persist. Investors are reacting to the inverse relationship between rising yields and equity valuations, particularly within the technology sector.

    Why it matters

    Rising bond yields typically make stocks less attractive by increasing borrowing costs and discounting future earnings. The current sell-off suggests a broad shift in fixed-income markets that is spilling over into global equity indices.

    What is confirmed

    • Global bond sell-offs are putting pressure on stock markets.
    • Nasdaq futures are sliding.
    • The S&P 500 has recorded three straight days of losses.
    • Rising bond yields are weighing on Wall Street tech stocks.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Asian stocks are set for losses.

    What to watch next

    • Movement in US Treasury yields
    • Opening bell performance of the Nasdaq Composite
    • Official market closing data for Asian exchanges
