Stock futures rise after recent selloff, oil up again

U.S. stock index futures rose on Monday, indicating a modest rebound after a recent downward trend that culminated in January being the worst month for the Dow and S&P 500 in a year. * The S&P 500 has fallen more than 1 percent in three of the past four sessions, with volatility rising of late on weak economic data and concerns about whether instability in Europe will hurt corporate earnings growth in the United States. * A recent driver of market weakness has been crude oil, which has lost more than half its value since June, putting heavy pressure on energy companies.
