U.S. stock futures are slightly lower in premarket trading as traders grapple with higher Yields and Oil at elevated levels.

The moves come after solid gains for stocks on Friday but mixed markets last week. The benchmark S&P 500 (SPX) was down 0.3% and the Dow Industrial Average fell 1.3% last week but the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 (NDX) rose 0.7% and hit a record high.

Powering the tech trade last week was Nvidia (NVDA), which rallied 4% last week and hit a fresh all-time high on Friday. Friday’s nonfarm payrolls data came in below expectations at 29,000 versus the 89,000 expected, but stocks rose as expectations fell for a rate hike at the FOMC later this month.

Investor focus today will remain on oil prices and yields along with services data.
