Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures drift as Wall Street braces for July inflation report
US stock futures wavered around the flatline on Tuesday as Wall Street braced for July's inflation report and President Trump revealed his pick to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Futures attached to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F), the benchmark S&P 500 (ES=F), and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) all fell below the flatline. Intel (INTC) stock jumped more than 2% in premarket trading on Tuesday after CEO Lip-Bu Tan met with President Trump, who had called for Tan's resignation last week. After the meeting, Trump posted to Truth Social saying that he had met with Tan along with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. "The meeting was a very interesting one," the president wrote, adding, "His success and rise is an amazing story." On Tuesday, reports said China urged local firms not to use Nvidia H20 chips, complicating Trump's bid to turn those sales into a US windfall. After the bell on Monday, Trump announced that he nominated E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to lead the BLS. "E.J. will ensure that the Numbers released are HONEST and ACCURATE," the president said on Truth Social. Trump fired Erika McEntarfer as commissioner of the BLS earlier this month following the release of the July jobs report, which contained "larger than normal" revisions to data and revealed fewer jobs than previously thought had been added to the economy. Trump said, without providing evidence, that McEntarfer had been acting politically and her numbers "were wrong." During day trading, stocks slumped even as Trump reportedly granted another 90-day pause on the most punishing tariffs on China as the two countries work toward a trade deal. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs Wall Street is preparing for the release of July's Consumer Price Index (CPI) report on Tuesday morning. Analysts expect it to show that prices increased as Trump's tariffs kicked in. A hot inflation report could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot as it navigates rising prices amid recent signs of a weakening labor market. In the background, anticipation over the possibility of a September interest rate cut continues to grow. Investors will get two more pulse checks on the state of the economy later this week, with the release of the Producer Price Index on Thursday and retail sales data on Friday. Cannabis stocks soar as President Trump considers reclassifying marijuana Tilray (TLRY) stock rose another 10% in premarket trading on Tuesday after soaring 41% on Monday amid speculation that President Trump may move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The Canadian cannabis company traded hands at over $1 per share for the first time since February. Despite a 60% gain in the past month, however, shares are still off by 30% for the year. Other cannabis stocks saw a major lift as well. Trulieve (TCNNF) gained 38% on Monday, Curaleaf (CURLF) was up 35%, Green Thumb Industries (GTBIF) added 19%, Aurora (ACB) increased 16%, and Canopy Growth (CGC) surged 26%. On Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump told donors at a New Jersey fundraiser he was considering making marijuana a Schedule III drug, which would ease restrictions on the substance. Trump said he will make a final decision in the coming weeks. "We're looking at reclassification and we'll make a determination over the next — I would say over the next few weeks, and that determination hopefully will be the right one," Trump said. "It's a very complicated subject." Intel is still a disaster Intel (INTC) is rallying premarket as Trump walked back his apparent hate for the company's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, after meeting on Monday. Don't be fooled by the price action, however. This isn't the case like Apple (AAPL), where CEO Tim Cook kisses Trump's butt and the company is exempt from various tariffs. Intel is a fundamental disaster right now. People in the industry I talk to are unsure if the company will ever come back to a state of health, given 1) how fast AI chip development is occurring, and 2) how far behind Nvidia and AMD Intel is. Intel's statement on the meeting: "Earlier today, Mr. Tan had the honor of meeting with President Trump for a candid and constructive discussion on Intel's commitment to strengthening U.S. technology and manufacturing leadership. We appreciate the President's strong leadership to advance these critical priorities and look forward to working closely with him and his Administration as we restore this great American company."

Pirro: Trump National Guard deployment in DC 'just the beginning'
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro warned Monday night that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in the Washington was 'just the beginning,' characterizing the crime rates in the nation's capital as 'horrific.' 'President Trump has rightfully declared an emergency crisis of crime and deployed the National Guard, the ATF, the DEA, the FBI, so that criminals know now that we see them," she said during an apperance on Fox News with host Sean Hannity. "We are watching them and we are gonna make them accountable. But make no mistake, Sean, this is just beginning." Trump announced earlier Monday that the Justice Department (DOJ) would be taking control of D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and that around 800 National Guard troops would be involved in the federal government's effort to lower crime rates. 'I'm deploying the National Guard to help reestablish law, order, and public safety in Washington, D.C., and they're going to be allowed to do their job properly,' the president said Monday during a press conference from the White House. Data shows that, so far, violent crime is down 26 percent compared to 2024 in the nation's capital, and that homicides last year dropped by 32 percent compared to 2023. But, the number of homicides last year, 187, was still higher than in the years in the lead-up to the COVID-19 pandemic. A Metropolitan Police Department police commander, Michael Pulliam, was placed on paid leave in May and is under investigation for allegedly altering crime numbers in his district, NBC4 reported last month. 'Today was, as the president called it, 'Liberation Day.' But we are now in the process of bringing to the attention of law-abiding citizens, not just in D.C., but throughout the country, that we're not gonna tolerate crime that is out of control in the nation's capital,' Pirro told host Sean Hannity. 'This is the shining city on the hill that our forefathers talked about," she added. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, along with a host of other Democratic mayors, pushed back on Trump administration's moves, calling it "unsettling and unprecedented." But, she added that it was not surprising. The president's effort is being carried out through provisions under the city's Home Rule Act. Congress passed the law in the 1970s to give the nation's capital autonomy over its local affairs. Trump also appointed Drug Enforcement Administration chief Terry Cole to lead the federal takeover of MPD.

Why a new UK internet safety law is causing an outcry on both sides of the Atlantic
It was well intentioned but a U.K. law mandating age verification on adult sites and a number of other platforms has sparked a backlash from both internet users in the country, and U.S. politicians and tech giants. Last month, new provisions in the Online Safety Act requiring large online platforms to implement age checks to prevent children from accessing pornographic and appropriate material came into force. The measures have led PornHub, RedTube and other porn sites to force U.K. visitors to sign up and verify their age to gain access to their services. Broadly, the Online Safety Act is a law that imposes a duty of care on social media firms and other user-generated content sites to ensure they take responsibility for harmful content uploaded and spread on their platforms. In particular, the legislation aims to prevent children from being exposed to pornographic content and material that promotes suicide, self-harm, eating disorders or abusive and hateful behaviour. The regulation has been years in the making and faced numerous delays in its development — not least due to concerns that it may infringe internet users' right to privacy and result in censorship. The latest measures have been imposed with the aim of ensuring children aren't able to view harmful and inappropriate content. However, they have led to complaints from internet users due to the requirement of having to share personal information such as their ID, credit card details and selfies — in some cases for platforms that don't even qualify as porn sites. Spotify, Reddit, X and a number of other platforms have introduced their own respective age verification systems to stop users under the age of 18 from consuming explicit content. These moves have subsequently led to providers of virtual private networks (VPNs) to report that their services, which allow users to mask their location, are surging in the U.K. Meanwhile, on Monday, Wikipedia was dealt a legal blow in the U.K. as a High Court judge ruled the platform should be treated as a "category one" service, which would subject to certain user verification requirements. The Online Safety Act requires category one platforms to offer users the ability to verify their identity and access tools that reduce their exposure to content from non-verified users. Wikimedia, the parent company of Wikipedia, has said previously that it could limit visitor numbers from the U.K. in order to exempt it from category one status. A number of U.S. politicians have blasted the new rules in recent days. Last week, Vice President JD Vance — who has previously criticized the U.K.'s internet safety rules — again raised concerns with the law, fearing it could unfairly restrict American tech companies. "I just don't want other countries to follow us down what I think was a very dark path under the Biden administration," Vance told reporters during a trip to the country last week. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who also visited the U.K. recently, said in a statement after his return that sweeping online safety laws in Europe are having "a serious chilling effect on free expression and threaten the First Amendment rights of American citizens and companies." There has been speculation over whether the U.S. may press Britain to relax the regulations during trade talks — however, U.K. officials say the issue is not open to debate. Other countries are already adopting their own respective internet age verification laws. Australia and Ireland have both passed similar age verification measures, while Denmark, Greece, Spain, France and Italy have started testing a common age verification app to protect users online. In the U.S., Louisiana passed a law in 2022 requiring age verification on websites where at least a third of the content is of an adult nature, while several other states are seeking to pass similar legislation.
