Stocks Market Today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Fall as Oil Slides

The stock market opened the day on a cautious note as futures for major U.S. indexes moved lower. Early trading showed declines in futures for the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, indicating a soft start for Wall Street. Much of the pressure came from the energy market. Oil prices have been swinging sharply in recent days, and a fresh decline in crude prices has added new uncertainty for investors. Global markets are already dealing with geopolitical tensions, economic data surprises, and interest-rate concerns.
