U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday as investors prepared for what may be a challenging month following a robust but erratic August.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 180 points, or 0.4%, on the session. Nasdaq-100 futures dropped 0.7%, while S&P 500 futures dropped 0.5%. Because Monday was Labour Day, U.S. markets were closed.
The monthly increase for the key averages is certain following a profitable session. In August, the S&P 500 gained 2.3%, which was its fourth consecutive month of growth. During that time, the Dow and Nasdaq saw 1.8% and 0.7%, respectively, of gains.
