Tariff announcement fuels pre-open slide

The S&P 500 futures are down 51 points and are trading 0.9% below fair value, the Nasdaq 100 futures are down 223 points and are trading 1.1% below fair value, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are down 302 points and are trading 0.7% below fair value.

The market is still in a holding pattern ahead of today's tariff announcements. Contracts tied to the Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, and Dow industrials indicate a lower open for the major equity indices.

The S&P 500 has recovered from early selling pressure so far this week, largely due to gains in the mega caps. Participants will be looking for signs of buy-the-dip interest again today.

Treasury yields are little changed from yesterday. The 10-yr yield is down two basis points to 4.16% and the 2-yr yield is unchanged at 3.86%.
