Stock index futures rebound to start the week

The S&P 500 lost 11% last week

(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures are rebounding Sunday night with investors taking some solace from weekend comments by U.S. officials that aimed to soothe panic about a pandemic.

Dow futures are higher by 1 percent.

Senior officials in President Donald Trump’s administration on Sunday tried to reduce concern about a global recession, saying the U.S. public had over-reacted and that stocks would rebound due to the American economy’s underlying strength.
