U.S. stocks may be mixed after European stocks fell on Wednesday amid concerns about Donald Trump’s plans for his April 2 tariff announcement. Futures tied to the S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fluctuated. Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) declined in premarket trading.
The rally faltered on Tuesday as U.S. consumers turned their gloomiest in over a decade and as uncertainty persisted over plans for the next round of President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Economic indicators are in focus this week, amid concerns that the U.S. economy is softening. On Tuesday, the Consumer Confidence Index’s expectation gauge hit a 12 year low reading of 65.2 — below 80 is considered a recession signal.
On Wednesday, durable goods orders, due at 8:30 a.m. EDT, may have dropped 1% in February, flipping from a 3.2% gain in January. Stripping out transportation equipment, the tally may have increased 0.25% month-on-moth, after being flat in January.
Federal Reserve speakers today include Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari and St. Louis chief Alberto Musalem.
