S&P 500 futures rise as traders weigh high yields and earnings

10/6/2026

stock futures trended slightly higher early Tuesday as investors balanced a quiet global trading session against the pressure of elevated Treasury yields and the start of the third-quarter earnings season.

The market is currently digesting a severe economic crisis in Iran while assessing whether lower Federal Reserve rate-hike expectations can sustain momentum despite high bond yields.

Polymarket (CRYPTO: POL) contracts indicate a slightly bullish sentiment for the October 6 trading session. The "S&P 500 (SPX) Up or Down on October 6?" contract reflects a 57% chance of a higher open.

The previous day's contract for October 5 resolved "Up," with a total trading volume of $27,456. Market commentary from Vested notes that sentiment remains constructive following a soft September jobs report.
