Future retreat on tariff headlines

The S&P 500 futures are down 51 points and are trading 0.9% below fair value, the Nasdaq 100 futures are down 242 points and are trading 1.5% below fair value, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 255 points and are trading 0.6% below fair value.

Contracts tied to the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow industrials are sharply lower. Market participants are waiting on President Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement on April 2 and reacting to some negative tariff-related headlines over the weekend.

A Wall Street Journal report indicated that the Trump administration is considering broader tariffs on April 2, including a 20% universal tariff on all imports from all countries.

Pre-open losses in mega cap stocks are also contributing to the downside bias. NVIDIA is lower by more than 4.0% ahead of the open.

The 10-yr yield is down seven basis points to 4.19% and the 2-yr yield is down six basis points to 3.85%, reflecting ongoing safe-haven trading due to concerns about US trade policy.
