Stock market futures fell on Sunday as an attack on Israel by Palestinian rebels added geopolitical risks to a sector already grappling with inflation and rising interest rates.
Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones index fell 207 points, or 0.6%. S&P 500 futures fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq 100 futures index slid 0.6%.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated into all-out war on Saturday after the militant group Hamas launched an invasion when Israel appeared to be caught off guard. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu affirmed that Hamas "will pay a very heavy price for this".
WTI crude oil futures rose 2% in early trading on Sunday.
Rising geopolitical tensions could have ramifications for energy markets, with some experts predicting a “sudden spike” in oil prices. Increased tensions could also cause more volatility in the markets, leaving traders worried about persistent inflation and higher interest rates.
Oil prices fell below $90 a barrel last week, with Brent crude sliding about 11%. Although neither Israel nor Palestine are major players in the global energy picture, both countries are located in an important oil region. OPEC+, the oil cartel that includes non-OPEC member Russia, will remain cautious about any moves to expand oil output and change cuts plans, Saudi Arabia's Energy Minister, Crown Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman told CNBC on Sunday.
With the bond market closed for Columbus Day Monday, Wall Street will have to wait until Tuesday for an update on interest rates.
All three major indexes ended last week higher even though a better-than-expected jobs report pushed up Treasury yields and sent stocks lower.
Friday's hotter-than-expected jobs report showed hiring remained strong, with the economy adding 336,000 jobs last month. Meanwhile, wage growth has been low, making investors hope inflation is cooling.
Bond yields eased somewhat as stocks rallied on Friday, but the yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit a 16-year high earlier in the week.
