The Nasdaq 100 index futures fell by 0.3%. Due to the unresolved risk of a US government shutdown, investors remained cautious. Trump met with Democrats on Monday Eastern Time, but no progress was made in reaching an agreement to avoid a government shutdown. Lawmakers must reach an agreement by 12:01 AM on Wednesday, or it will lead to a partial government shutdown.
If the government shuts down, it will stop releasing economic data, leaving the Federal Reserve without key data to formulate its interest rate path.
