US index futures decline on Greek uncertainty
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The major index futures in the US fell as the Greece’s deal no deal saga continues ahead of the data on the US factory orders.
Standard & Poor’s 500 index futures fell 0.19% or four points to 2105 levels. At one point of time in the European session, the futures were down 0.5%. However, sentiment improved after representatives of Greek creditors were said to be finalizing a proposal. Meanwhile, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures lost 20 points, or 0.1%, to 18,003. Nasdaq 100 Index contracts slid 0.2%.
Ahead in the day, the sentiment on the Wall Street could be affected by the data, which could show factory orders contracted 0.1% in April. Labor market reports on private payrolls growth, jobless claims and the government’s monthly non-farm payrolls data are all due later this week.
