- U.S. stock index futures slipped on Monday as a growing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas roiled global markets and pushed investors toward safe-haven assets, while crude prices jumped close to 3%.
U.S Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said the United States will send multiple military ships and aircraft closer to Israel as a show of support. At 5:04 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 152 points, or 0.45%, S&P 500 e-minis were down 23.5 points, or 0.54%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 96.5 points, or 0.64%.
Data would take center stage once again this week with September producer price index and consumer price inflation readings due on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
