U.S. stock futures fell on Monday following Friday’s declines. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower.

President Donald Trump‘s nomination of Kevin Warsh to lead the Federal Reserve was followed by a sharp sell-off in Friday’s session.

Precious metals Gold and Silver also saw a sharp drop in their prices after a record-breaking rally in January.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.22%, and the two-year bond was at 3.52%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing an 85.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were lower in premarket on Monday. The SPY was down 0.61% at $687.75, while the QQQ declined 0.85% to $616.57.
