Late Night Futures Update

Live

If you’re hoping tomorrow could be a breakout day, futures aren’t providing much enthusiasm. As of 10:45 p.m. ET, futures are pointing to another 100-point loss in the Nasdaq tomorrow.

Obviously, markets remain volatile so a single statement about negotiating by the Trump Administration could change everything.

Markets Close, Giving Away All Early Gains

Live
The Nasdaq Composite relinquished early gains and closed down 2.40% as Wall Street weathered another day of intense volatility. The tech-focused index struggled to maintain momentum after a broader market rally fizzled after a stellar open.
What to know:
  • US trade rep on tariff progress: U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told the Senate Finance Committee that around 50 countries are engaging in talks to sidestep Trump’s import tariffs, intended to shrink U.S. trade deficits, though he acknowledged potential “challenges.”
  • China’s tariff retaliation: China promised to “fight to the end” with countermeasures after Trump proposed an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports, heightening trade war tensions.

Musk Sparring with Navarro

| Eric Bleeker
Live

Trump economic advisor Peter Navarro has been one of the strongest advocates for measures like large tariffs, so its noteworthy that Elon Musk has begun sparring with him including calling him ‘dumber than a sack of bricks’ on X this morning.

Generally, the market would prefer Administration officials like Scott Bessent gaining influence versus officials that are seen as more pro-tariff like Navarro and Howard Lutnick.
