S&P 500 Futures Slip 0.2% as Euro Hits 17-Month Low
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Oct 5
Summary
S&P 500 futures fell 0.2% early Monday as investors pulled back from risk, with the latest pressure centered on Europe’s political turmoil and fiscal strains.
The euro dropped to a 17-month low against the dollar, underscoring the market’s focus on European stress rather than US-specific catalysts.
In Europe, France bore the brunt of the selloff: the CAC 40 lost 1%, while the broader regional benchmark was little changed.
US tech sentiment held up better, with Nasdaq 100 futures pointing to an open just below the record high set at the end of last week.
