U.S. Stock Futures Slip, Following Europe Lower; Banks Drop

Stock futures fell in pre-market trading Monday on the last day of a hugely positive month for the market.

European indexes were broadly lower as investors appear to be questioning whether a deal to recapitalize banks and bail out Greece will achieve its goal. European leaders are still trying to get China to make an investment in the continent, although the official Chinese news agency said the country couldn’t be the “savior” for the Europeans. The DAX was down 1.7%.

Dow futures fell 98 points to 12,070; S&P 500 futures fell 13 points to 1,267.9.

Humana (HUM) rose 1.6% after posting better than expected earnings and lifting its outlook. Big banks were falling, with Morgan Stanley (MS) off 3.2% and Bank of America (BAC) dropping 2.6%.
