"Dow's Decline Continues Amid Market Volatility: Live Updates"

U.S. stock futures remained flat after the Dow's sixth consecutive day of losses, with the Dow dropping 0.65% and erasing most of its 2024 gains. Rising yields and escalating tensions in the Middle East contributed to market jitters, reflected in the CBOE Volatility Index reaching its highest level since October. Despite the uncertainty, some market observers believe that the resilient economy and strong labor market could continue to support equities. Additionally, Live Nation Entertainment shares slumped in after-hours trading following reports of a potential antitrust lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice.
