Stock futures fell in trading overnight Monday as markets struggled to withstand a rally rally after weeks of losses.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 110 points, or 0.34%. S&P 500 futures fell 0.69% and Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.33%.
Shares of Zoom Video rose 6% in expanded trading after sharing clear recommendations for the second quarter, while shares of Snap fell more than 28% as the company said it was preparing to meet its earnings and earnings targets for the current quarter, and warned of a slowdown in hiring.
These steps came at a time when markets were rebounding from a sharp sell-off last week that put the Dow in its first eight-week losing streak since 1923 and the S&P 500 briefly fell into bear market territory on an intraday basis.
Shares rose during the regular trading session on Monday, when the Dow jumped 618 points, or nearly 2%, after a week of sharp losses. The S&P 500 was up 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.6%.
These steps have made investors wonder if the rebound may hold up, or if it was another minor relief rally amid a relentless sell-off that has yet to hit bottom.
