U.S. stock futures were fluctuating on Friday after a mixed close on Thursday. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed in premarket.
The week began with the market shrugging off <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">Moody&#8217;s downgrade of the U.S. government debt</a>, however, it slipped later in the week as investors started assessing the impact of the new tax bill proposed by the Donald Trump administration, known as the &#8220;One, Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221;
While the tax bill is expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office-estimates-4-income-fall-for-lowest-decile-of-americans-by-2033">add $3.8 trillion</a> to the U.S. debt as per Congressional Budget Office estimates, it was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45581297/trumps-big-beautiful-3-8-trillion-bill-squeaks-through-house-expert-says-it-will-boost-the-economy-in-the-short-term-but-worsen-deficitshttps://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45581297/trumps-big-beautiful-3-8-trillion-bill-squeaks-through-house-expert-says-it-will-boost-the-economy-in-the-short-term-but-worsen-deficits">passed by the U.S. House of Representatives</a> on Thursday by a 215-214 margin.
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.51% and the two-year bond was at 3.98%.

Insights From Analysts:
Jurrien Timmer, the director of global macro at Fidelity Investments, highlighted in an X post that the long end of the Treasury market was being ignored after the S&amp;P 500 recovered most of its decline below its 52-week high.
&#8220;There's an old saying that &#8216;nothing good ever happens after midnight,&#8217; and we could borrow that phrase and say that nothing good happens above a 5% yield,&#8221; he said, highlighting concerns about higher yields.
He added that &#8220;It's my strong hunch that the next chapter in this market cycle will be driven by rates, as term premia return to their historical pre-QE levels.&#8221;

&#8220;The budget discussion is fueling a lot of concern about deficits and debt levels rising over the long run,&#8221; said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Schwab, who noted yields moving higher after the vote.
&#8220;The current proposal is expected to add anywhere from $3 trillion to $5 trillion to the accumulated debt over the next 10 years. The market appears to be voting against this bill and would like to see more fiscal restraint.&#8221;
The bill will now advance to the Senate, where it appears likely to face additional revisions.
&#8220;Congress has set a July target for a final bill to be signed into law, which could look very different than the current version. Consequently, we do not recommend taking actions based on the bill in its current form,&#8221; said Brian Therien of Edward Jones.
