Bond Yields, Oil Drop on Covid-19 Lockdown Concerns

U.S. stock futures were mixed, the dollar strengthened and oil prices fell, as rising Covid-19 cases led to an acceleration of social-distancing and business restrictions in Europe.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 edged down 0.2%, after the broad-market index closed up 0.3% Thursday at an all-time high. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures declined 0.4% Friday. Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.3%, pointing to advances in technology stocks after the opening bell.
