Futures: Dow down 0.1%, S&P 500 up 0.4%, Nasdaq 0.6%

Sept 3 (Reuters) - Futures tied to the S&P 500 and the

Nasdaq rebounded on Wednesday with Alphabet leading gains in

some megacap stocks, while Dow futures edged lower ahead of

labor market data due to be released later in the day.

Google-parent Alphabet jumped 5.8% in premarket

trading after a Washington judge ruled late on Tuesday that

Google will not have to sell its Chrome browser, but will have

to share data with rivals.

The judgment also allowed Google to continue lucrative

payments to iPhone-maker Apple ( AAPL ), which gained 2.8%.

"This outcome removes a significant legal overhang and

signals that the court is willing to pursue pragmatic remedies

rather than scorched-earth tactics," said Matt Britzman, senior

equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown.

"That's a message the rest of Big Tech, many of whom face

their own antitrust battles, will be watching closely."

Markets will focus on the Job Openings and Labor Turnover

Survey report, scheduled for release at 10 a.m. ET and the first

of many labor market datasets expected this week, with the most

important being the nonfarm payrolls on Friday.

Investors have turned dovish, pricing in a 91.2% chance of a

September interest-rate cut, according to data compiled by LSEG,

after July's weak payrolls and massive revisions to previous

reports pointed to a slowing labor market.

At 05:13 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 38 points,

or 0.08%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 23 points, or 0.36%,

and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 129.25 points, or 0.56%.

Wall Street closed sharply lower in the first trading

session of September, as yields on longer-dated Treasury notes

spiked, pressuring equities.

The one on the 30-year note hit a more than

one-month high on Tuesday after a court ruling last week deemed

most of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs illegal, reviving

some fiscal concerns. The yield was last up about 35 basis

points at 4.988%.

September has been historically dour for U.S. equities, with

the index losing an average of 1.5% in the month - its worst -

since the turn of the century, according to data compiled by

LSEG.
