U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Monday as focus shifted to upcoming jobs data and manufacturing PMI data. The rise in futures comes as traders look ahead to fresh labor market numbers later in the week, which will be closely watched for indications on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path. U.S. stocks are on track to kick off the third quarter with gains, starting the second half of the year on a positive note with early gains. Additionally, bond yields have soared as the new quarter begins.
