US Stock Market Today: S&P 500 Futures Fall On Higher Yields And Oil Surge

The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Monday, Mar, 9 2026

US stock futures are pointing lower this morning, with E-mini S&P 500 contracts down about 1.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures off roughly 1.5%, as investors react to a jump in borrowing costs and energy prices. The US 10 year Treasury yield is around 4.22%, meaning mortgages, car loans, and corporate borrowing can all stay more expensive for longer, while oil above US$100 keeps pressure on fuel and transport costs. With Middle East tensions feeding inflation worries and key US inflation scorecards like CPI and PCE still ahead, the big question is whether higher for longer rates squeeze rate sensitive areas like small caps, real estate, and high growth tech more than they support energy linked names and parts of the bond market.

With rates staying higher and volatility picking up, our 66 resilient stocks with low risk scores can help you focus on resilience today.
