US stock futures decline amid tariff concerns; Tesla shares fall
US stock index futures dropped on Monday as investor concerns grew over the economic impact of the Trump administration’s tariff policies. At 05:43 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis fell by 299 points (0.7%), S&P 500 E-minis declined 48.75 points (0.84%), and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 198.5 points (0.98%).
Major growth stocks also suffered losses, with Nvidia dropping 2%, while Meta and Amazon declined by over 1.3% each. Tesla shares fell 2.6% after UBS lowered its forecast for the company’s first-quarter deliveries and reduced its stock price target.
Markets are also reacting to China’s new retaliatory tariffs, set to take effect on Monday, and upcoming US tariffs on base metals. Uncertainty over trade policies has increased recession fears, with a Reuters poll showing that 91% of economists see rising risks of an economic downturn.
The S&P 500 saw its biggest weekly drop since September, while the Nasdaq has fallen over 10% from its December peak. Investors are awaiting key economic data this week, which could influence the Federal Reserve’s policy decisions. Meanwhile, crypto stocks slid as Bitcoin lost 4% in value.
