Morning Watchlist: Can Monday Rally Continue?
Tom White
March 25, 2025
U.S. Stock Futures are relatively flat in premarket trading after a massive broad-based rally on Monday. The moves come after the S&P 500 (SPX) jumped nearly 1.8% yesterday while the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 (NDX) jumped 2.16%. Stocks continue to react to headlines but optimism won on Monday on the hopes that tariffs will be more targeted and narrower in scope. Investors will continue to react to tariff headlines along with data today, which includes Consumer Confidence and New Home Sales.
