Wall Street's main indexes braced for steep losses at the open on Monday, with the S&P 500 near bear market territory, as investors sought refuge in government bonds on economic worries over the fallout of U.S. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariff plans.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yields fell to 3.986%, with investors pricing in a chance of a fifth interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserve this year.
