Investors were awaiting a meeting of euro-zone finance ministers.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (CBOT JZ2) fell 43 points, or 0.3%, to 13,493, while those for the Standard & Poor’s 500 index (GLC:SPZ2) fell 5.1 points, or 0.4%, to 1,450.40.
Futures for the Nasdaq-100 index (CME:NDZ2) fell 12.75 points, or 0.5%, to 2,791.50.
“The week isn’t looking to get off to a pretty start on Wall Street as those upbeat nonfarm payroll figures already seem to have been forgotten and a lower growth forecast from the World Bank for China is now very much front of mind,” said Fawad Razaqzada, market strategist at GFT Markets, in a note.
