Stock futures fell as a US government shutdown loomed, potentially disrupting labor market data. Dow futures dropped 127 points (0.3%), while S&P and Nasdaq-100 futures fell 0.2%. Investors are already concerned about a slowing labor market, stagflation, and high stock valuations. A shutdown could prompt rating agency reviews of US credit.
