Lower open indicated to start new week

The S&P 500 futures are down 20 points and are trading 0.4% below fair value, the Nasdaq 100 futures are down 91 points and are trading 0.5% below fair value, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 150 points and are trading 0.4% below fair value.

Stock futures are lower after Friday's strong jobs report fueled a rally in equities. The labor market data also led participants to rethink how aggressive the Fed will be with rate cuts.

Pre-open losses in some mega cap names have weighed down contracts linked to the Dow industrials, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100. Rising market rates are another contributing factor. The 10-yr yield is up two basis points 4.00% and the 2-yr yield is up six basis points to 3.99%.

Today's economic data is limited to the August Consumer Credit report at 3:00 ET.
