U.S. Stock-Index Futures Decline - 2008/09/11 20:14
Hi traders! This week has been really unstable regarding American markets... 
U.S. stock-index futures tumbled as concern grew that Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. will fail to shore up capital, heightening concern about the stability of the banking system.
Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures expiring this month sank 18.1, or 1.5 percent, to 1,215.2 as of 8:39 a.m. in New York. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures decreased 136 to 11,155 and Nasdaq-100 Index futures fell 22.75 to 1,714.75.
Futures indicated the S&P 500 may fall below its lowest close of the year. The benchmark index for U.S. equities is poised for its first annual decline since 2002 as more than $500 billion in credit losses and asset writedowns at financial firms worldwide and slowing economic growth damp the outlook for earnings.
