Stock futures fall after Tuesday’s broad rebound, continuing choppy start to October

Stock futures fell in overnight trading after the market rebounded Tuesday from a tech-led sell-off the day prior.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 113 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures traded in negative territory.

The market saw a broad rally during Tuesday’s regular session with nine out of 11 S&P 500 sectors closing positive. The Dow gained 312 points, or 0.92%. The S&P 500 rose 1.05% and the Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.25%. 

Mega-cap tech stocks closed higher Tuesday after being knocked down the prior trading session. Facebook stayed in focus following a lengthy outage and claims by a whistleblower that the company knows it’s harming people.

The financial sector finished Tuesday as the best performing segment of the S&P 500, up 1.78%. Other sectors geared toward a recovering economy also saw shares rise. Energy names gained as oil prices climbed. Cruise, airline and retail stocks also advanced.
