Stock Futures Rise Amid Trump Tariff Anticipation
It’s a new month, and a new optimism is pushing up stocks in early trading after a rather dour February.
The S&P 500 finished lower in February, as it has done for six of the past 10 years. It’s still up about 1.2% this year.
There’s a lot on traders’ minds. At the top of the agenda—new U.S. tariffs on Mexico and China are set to kick in, though there may be some speculation that they will be delayed again or won’t be for the full 25% currently penciled in. President Donald Trump will speak to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday as a deadline for a budget agreement approaches next week.
