Stock Futures Fall Ahead of Key Tariffs Deadline on 'Liberation Day'
Stock futures pointed lower early Tuesday at the start of a new quarter as investors awaited key tariff developments that could determine how the rest of the year pans out.
Futures on the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq 100 indexes were all 0.2% lower ahead of the open.
The market is bracing for so-called Liberation Day on Wednesday when President Donald Trump is expected to announce reciprocal tariffs on countries with trade imbalances with the U.S. However, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that White House officials were considering broader 20% levies on virtually all U.S. trading partners.
