  • Stock index futures ticked lower on Monday, as investors awaited a ton of economic releases over the week, while President-elect Donald Trump threatened to implement more trade tariffs. S&P 500 futures ( SPX) -0.1%, Nasdaq 100 futures ( US100:IND) -0.2% and Dow futures ( INDU) were unchanged.

The article from Seeking Alpha discusses the current outlook for major U.S. stock indices including the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones Industrial Average. It highlights a mixed market sentiment with concerns over inflation, potential Federal Reserve actions, and geopolitical tensions influencing investor behavior. The S&P 500 has shown resilience despite these challenges, buoyed by strong corporate earnings in some sectors, particularly technology. However, there's a noted caution due to rising bond yields and fears of an economic slowdown. The Nasdaq, heavily weighted with tech stocks, has experienced volatility but remains a focal point for growth investors. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones, with its more traditional industry representation, reflects broader economic health concerns. Analysts are split between those anticipating a correction due to overvaluation in certain sectors and those expecting continued growth supported by economic recovery and innovation in technology. The article also mentions upcoming economic reports and Fed meetings that could sway market directions in the near term.
