Stock Market Today: Dow, S&P 500 Futures Dip After Wall Street Breaks Winning Streak
Monday's market nerves look like they may extend into today's session. Stock futures fell early Tuesday, after the Dow industrials and the S&P 500 both snapped nine-day winning streaks yesterday. President Trump is slated to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington today. Also in focus is the Federal Reserve's policy meeting, which starts this afternoon. While the central bank is expected to hold off on cutting interest rates, comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be scoured for clues as to how the bank might balance the risk of inflation pressure from tariffs or shortages, versus the chance of an economic slowdown. One drag on shares this week: Trump's comments over the weekend calling for 100% tariffs on movies made overseas. That weighed on entertainment-company stocks Monday, and piqued further concerns about the direction of Trump's trade policy. Elsewhere in markets: Benchmark Treasury yields edged higher, after settling Monday at 4.34%. The Taiwan dollar weakened against the greenback after hitting a multiyear high Monday. Taiwan's central bank denied speculation yesterday the U.S. had asked the island to boost its currency. Gold futures extended Monday's rise, topping $3,370 a troy ounce. 🎧 Listen to WSJ Minute Briefing's audio summary of Monday's market moves.
