Stock futures were rising on Sunday night, ahead of a week full of labor market updates and employment news, including the February jobs report on Friday.
At 6:25 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 70 points, or 0.2%; the S&P 500 futures rose 0.3%; and Nasdaq Composite futures gained 0.4%.
While the Dow ended last week on an upswing, worries about the economy have seeped into the stock market, weighing on the S&P 500 and technology-heavy Nasdaq.
The S&P 500 index closed down 0.97% last week, its second straight weekly decline and the largest two-week point and percentage drop since the week ending Sept. 6, 2024, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The S&P 500 is up 1.24% this year.
The Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 3.47%, also its second-straight weekly decline. It's the largest one-week point and percentage decline since the week ending Sept. 6, 2024. The Nasdaq is down 2.40% this year.
This week's economic highlights include the ADP's report on private-sector employment in February and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book on Wednesday, initial unemployment claims on Thursday, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics' jobs report and unemployment rate for February on Friday.
