U.S. stock futures fell Monday amid continuing concerns over the fallout from fraud allegations against Goldman Sachs Group.More than two hours before the start of trading, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 48 points lower at 10936. The S&P 500 futures fell 8.1 points to 1182.2 and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 7.75 points to 2002. Changes in futures do not always accurately predict early market moves after the opening bell.

U.S. stocks slumped Friday after the Securities and Exchange Commission brought fraud charges against Goldman Sachs Group. The agency said it was examining similar deals across the industry. Goldman Sachs shares tumbled nearly 13% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 125 points. The Nasdaq Composite lost 34 points and the S&P 500 declined 19 points.
