US stock market futures traded in a narrow range on Tuesday, with investors cautiously watching the second day of US-China trade talks unfold. After a positive start to discussions, traders are waiting to see if any concrete progress will be made, particularly around rare earth minerals access, which has become a key sticking tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F), S&P 500 (ES=F), and Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) were mostly flat in early morning trading. This hesitant tone reflected the market's uncertainty about whether this round of trade negotiations will lead to any breakthroughs — or just more delays.: Boeing +3.07 %, Dow Inc +2.87 %, Intel +1.94 %, Amazon +1.51 %, Disney +1.49 %: Travelers –2.19 %, Nike –1.45 %, Apple –1.37 %, Visa –1.04 %, 3M –0.93 %: Regeneron +5.02 %, AMD +4.72 %, Tesla +4.36 %, Qualcomm +4.12 %, Texas Instruments +3.49 %: Intuitive Surgical –5.58 %, T‑Mobile –3.28 %, ADP –2.60 %, Netflix –1.46 %, Apple –1.37 %The latest round of US-China trade negotiations resumed in London on Tuesday morning. Following an encouraging first day, both sides are now grappling with more difficult issues — including the US push for better access to China's rare earth mineral supply chain. These minerals are critical for technology, electric vehicles, and defense White House officials sounded optimistic on Monday, President Trump later warned that "China's not easy" to deal with. That mixed messaging has left investors on edge. The last few years have shown how quickly tariffs and tensions between the US and China can send global markets of Tuesday's trade discussions, Chinese stocks saw a sharp decline, reflecting nervous sentiment among local investors. According to Bloomberg, Fu Shifeng, investment director at Cheng Zhou Investment, commented that 'the market is too sensitive… people seem to be speculating that the talks didn't go well.'This sudden drop suggests that optimism about a deal is thin, and the lack of transparency around the talks is adding to the volatility. With no clear signals yet, traders are bracing for all the trade uncertainty, a small glimmer of positivity came from the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business). Their May survey showed a rise in small-business optimism, the first increase since September. The report cited the current trade truce with China as one reason behind the boost in that optimism is also being tested. Concerns are growing over President Trump's massive tax-and-spending proposals, which many business owners feel could raise the national debt and increase next big moment for investors is the release of the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) data, expected on Wednesday. This inflation report is crucial, especially as the Fed continues weighing future interest rate predict that price pressures picked up in May, possibly fueled by trade uncertainty and higher import costs. A hotter-than-expected CPI reading could spook markets further, especially tech stocks which are more sensitive to interest rate are walking a tightrope. US-China trade talks have the potential to ease global tensions and lift investor sentiment — but only if they show meaningful progress. At the same time, inflation data, US fiscal policy concerns, and overseas market volatility are keeping things now, investors are taking a wait-and-see approach. Futures are flat, volatility is rising in Asia, and every headline from London could move the needle. The next 24–48 hours could be critical in setting the tone for the markets this US-China talks and inflation worries are keeping stock futures flat and investors CPI report could reveal rising inflation, which may affect Fed rate decisions and stock market direction.
