U.S. stock index futures fell on Monday, bracing for the start of the earnings season which could see profits come under pressure at a time of growing fears of an economic downturn due to aggressive interest rate hikes.

After a dismal first half of the year, U.S. stocks started July on an upbeat note, however, market participants fear that upcoming quarterly results could trigger another selloff, with earnings potentially falling short of estimates.

The market is now largely pricing in a 75-basis-point rate hike later in July, however concerns about the pace of future rate hikes have grown after a stronger-than-expected jobs report on Friday.
