Wall St futures muted as bond yields resume climb; Walmart drops after results - Reuters

US stock futures declined on Thursday as government bond yields resumed their climb and oil prices increased. Market sentiment was further pressured by disappointing earnings from Walmart Inc., which caused the retail giant's shares and those of its industry peers to slump. These combined factors led to muted Wall Street futures ahead of the market open, reflecting investor reactions to the bond market volatility and the retail sector's financial results reported by Reuters.
