Executive Summary

Market color: Risk-off tone into the September open: Dow futures fell roughly 240 points as global bond yields climbed (Japanese yields hit their highest since 1996) and oil prices rose, pressuring equities. Apple's CEO transition to John Ternus and profit-taking across SpaceX IPO proxies added to the cautious pre-market tape.
