Stock futures are slightly higher Friday morning after two straight days of gains for major indexes as investors await further developments on tariffs.
Futures tied to the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq were each up 0.3% recently, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures tacked on 0.2%.
Stock futures jumped premarket after President Trump posted on social media that he is considering slashing tariffs on Chinese imports ahead of the highly anticipated meeting between US and Chinese officials this weekend.
“80% Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
