US stock futures edged lower in premarket trading on Monday as investors took stock of rising bond yields and the upcoming earnings season ahead of a relatively quiet week.Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) traded roughly flat, while those on the S&P 500 (ES=F) fell 0.1%. Contracts for the Nasdaq-100 (NQ=F) also fell into the red after markets rallied on pared-back Fed rate-hike bets.Monday marks a light day as far as the earnings and economic calendars are concerned, with the latest readings from S&P Global and the Institute of Supply Management's purchasing managers' indexes highlighting Monday's releases.Later this week, attention will turn to the quarterly results of Levi Strauss & Co. (LEVI), Applied Digital (APLD), PepsiCo (PEP), and Delta Air Lines (DAL) before the Q3 earnings season kicks off in earnest in mid-October. The market has remained remarkably resilient amid recent turmoil in the bond market and the ongoing war in the Middle East. The 10-year Treasury yield (^TNX) at 5.28% and Brent crude oil futures (BZ=F) above $100 per barrel have put investors on edge, with some strategists seeing plenty of reasons for a pullback — while others see more room for a rally to run.
