Futures on major US stock indices drop as US tariffs on Canada and Mexico and China investment restrictions fuel market uncertainty

Futures on US stock indices, including the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, fell sharply yesterday and barely recovered today. S&P 500 futures fell by 0.8%, while NASDAQ futures lost nearly 1%. Not surprisingly, the mood in the Asian markets was equally bleak. This downturn follows US President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as restrictions on Chinese investment, leading to heightened market uncertainty. The yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds fell 3 basis points, while gold, as expected, reached record highs, serving as a safe-haven asset. Bitcoin and other risky assets also took a hit, plummeting to critical levels. All of this stems from Trump's announcement that tariffs on Canada and Mexico will be implemented next month, along with an order to limit Chinese spending in strategic sectors.

US market faces correction after extended stability amid trade tariff uncertainty and political events

After several months of calm, the S&P 500 unexpectedly faced a sell-off on February 23-24, marking its first decline of more than 1% in the past 35 trading sessions. Since the November election, the index has traded in a narrow range of just 4%, its smallest range since 2017. Notably, choosing the right trading conditions is key to successful long-term investing in US equities—commissions, spreads, and market access directly impact ultimate profits. The market fell just ahead of the release of a key earnings report from NVIDIA, which is unlikely to disappoint investors. However, despite the relatively strong economy, there is still a lack of buyers in the market. Morgan Stanley has stated that the gap between US stock indices and their European and other counterparts will not last long. With such market volatility, smart trading can significantly increase your capital. Follow the link for more details.

US stock market shows mixed performance, with tech giants Nvidia and Microsoft falling after Trump's tariff announcement

The market showed weakness in the morning, but investors apparently decided that it was a great opportunity to buy discounted stocks, especially in the mega-cap sector. This burst of enthusiasm quickly faded, however, and major indices closed near their intraday lows. The sell-off was triggered by President Trump's announcement that tariffs would be imposed on Mexico and Canada, despite a one-month delay. This, combined with declines in stocks of giants like Nvidia (-3.1%), Microsoft (-1.0%), and Amazon (-1.8%), led to a retreat in the second half of the day. However, Apple continued to cheer its investors by announcing plans to invest over $500 billion in the U.S. economy over the next four years. Rumors immediately spread that this generosity might spare the company from tariffs. Despite this, overall market sentiment remained pessimistic. Follow the link for more details.

Nasdaq under pressure as tech and AI stocks fall, including Nvidia and Palantir

Amid market volatility, the collapse of positive sentiment among tech giants became the main factor behind Nasdaq's decline. Palantir lost 10.5% and is now down nearly 30% from its all-time high. Meanwhile, Nvidia shares fell by 3.1% ahead of the company's earnings report scheduled for Wednesday. There is some good news, though. Despite overall instability, Apple added 0.6% to its value, driven by its ambitious plan to invest $500 billion in the U.S. economy over the next four years and create 20,000 new jobs. As we can see, trading U.S. stocks remains one of the most profitable ways to make money in financial markets, as stocks of reputable companies often deliver impressive results.
