U.S. stock futures fluctuated on Tuesday following Friday’s mixed close. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed at the beginning of the holiday-shortened week as the markets were closed on Monday for Presidents’ Day. Weekly losses hit all major indices last week, with the S&P 500 dropping 1.4% and the Dow slipping 1.2%. The Nasdaq recorded a 2.1% weekly decline. Meanwhile, Congressional Democrats and the administration of President Donald Trump failed to agree on a funding deal through September, triggering a partial government shutdown that commenced Saturday. Investors will be looking out for earnings releases from Walmart Inc. (NASDAQ:WMT), DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:DASH), and Molson Coors Beverage Co. (NYSE:TAP) through the week. The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.02%, and the two-year bond was at 3.39%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 90.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.
