US stock futures edged higher Monday as markets digested a mix of disappointing labor data and lingering trade tensions. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures each ROSE 0.4%, while Dow futures gained 0.2%, attempting to recover from last week's sharp declines.

The rebound follows the worst weekly performance in months for major indices. The S&P 500 plunged 2.4% - its steepest drop since May - with the Dow and Nasdaq shedding 2.9% and 2.2% respectively. Weak July jobs data and downward revisions to previous months' figures rattled investors, prompting President TRUMP to dismiss the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner.

Market participants now price in nearly 90% odds of a September rate cut after the Fed held rates steady last week. The central bank's policy stance remains under scrutiny as Trump continues his public criticism of Chair Powell.
