US stock futures fall after Trump’s new tariffs at start of Fed-decision week

US stock futures fall after Trump’s new tariffs at start of Fed-decision week

The U.S. stock index futures took a hit on Monday as President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs reignited fears of a global trade war. Investors were left uncertain about the impact of these tariffs as Trump introduced a 100% tariff on movies produced outside the U.S. without providing clear details on how they would be implemented.

This news led to a drop in premarket trading for movie and television production companies that film overseas. Netflix saw a 3.3% decrease, while Walt Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery were down 1.5% and 2.7% respectively. Additionally, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway saw a 2.1% decline after the investor revealed his plans to step down as CEO of the conglomerate.

As of 05:05 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 287 points, S&P 500 E-minis were down 48.5 points, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 191.75 points. This drop in futures came after a week of easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which had provided some relief to the markets.

Last week, the S&P 500 saw its ninth consecutive session of gains, a streak not seen since 2004. However, the focus this week will be on the upcoming Federal Reserve monetary policy decision. The Fed is expected to keep interest rates on hold, but investors will be paying close attention to any commentary from policymakers regarding their approach to monetary policy easing in light of the tariff impacts.

Recent data revealed that the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter for the first time since 2022, raising concerns about slowing growth despite a strong labor market. Analysts from Wrightson ICAP believe that the positive April jobs data will likely overshadow the negative GDP report, keeping the Fed in a wait-and-see mode.

Investors are currently pricing in 25 basis points of easing by July, with a total of 116 points of cuts expected by the end of the year. Companies are also navigating through tariff-induced uncertainty, with chipmaker Onsemi and medical products distributor Henry Schein reporting results before the bell, and carmaker Ford and data analytics firm Palantir scheduled to report after markets close.

In conclusion, the markets are facing uncertainty due to Trump’s new tariffs and the upcoming Fed decision. Investors will be closely monitoring how companies are adapting to these challenges amidst ongoing trade tensions.
