Market Awaits Tariff News
Tom White
July 08, 2025
U.S. stock futures are relatively flat ahead of the Wall Street open after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new duties on 14 countries, and extended the “reciprocal” tariff deadline to Aug. 1. The moves come after stocks fell on Monday as the White House sent letters to multiple countries amid record highs for equities.
The Dollar has firmed up and Yields have risen to two-week highs with the 10-Year at 4.4%. With little economic data due today, investor focus will continue to be on tariff headlines.
