Be aware that when you say "futures" you are including a whole wide spectrum of markets, some of which have relatively little connection with each other. It sounds like you're after fundamentals related to the movement of interest rates. Do you mean "What fundamental factors move rate?", or do you mean "Where can I find the key data releases and such?"

Locate the 'Understanding the Yield Curve" series of papers by Antti Ilmanen (old Solly stuff). It's good stuff.

The two biggest things that move interest rates are inflation expectations and monetary policy expectations. Everything else pretty much spins off from there.
