The stock market started October with a rocky session, with futures showing little change as tensions in the Middle East and economic signals weigh heavily on investor sentiment. Major indices, including the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, experienced declines last session, triggered by increased geopolitical worries and a significant drop in tech stocks like Apple and Nvidia. Nike's shares fell nearly 7% after the company withdrew its full-year guidance, leading to concerns amidst an expected leadership change. Upcoming employment data may also influence market direction.
