U.S. stock futures edged lower Sunday evening after Wall Street recorded weekly losses, as investor sentiment remained cautious amid trade tensions and a critical earnings week. S&P 500 Futures fell 0.4% to 5,293.25, Nasdaq 100 Futures dropped 0.4% to 18,316.25, and Dow Jones Futures slipped 0.4% to 36,169.0 by 8:08 PM ET.
Market volatility was driven by uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s new tariff measures and escalating trade talks. Recent discussions between the U.S. and Japan showed signs of progress, while China signaled openness to negotiations—contingent on more respectful diplomacy. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also backed continued trade dialogue.
Investors are closely watching first-quarter earnings reports from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Boeing (NYSE:BA) this week. Tesla will announce results Tuesday as it grapples with global supply chain disruptions and political backlash tied to CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in Trump’s administration. Alphabet reports Thursday amid increased AI activity and advertising scrutiny, while Boeing’s Wednesday results may shed light on how global trade pressures are impacting the aerospace sector.
Last week, UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) triggered a major sell-off, plunging 22% after revising its annual profit forecast due to rising medical costs. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) also spooked tech investors with news of a $5.5 billion Q1 charge linked to U.S. chip export restrictions on China.
Despite the S&P 500 eking out a 0.1% gain Thursday, the Dow dropped 1.3%, and the Nasdaq lost 0.1%. All three major indexes ended the week in the red, with over 2% declines in both the Dow and Nasdaq. Monday’s trading is expected to remain light due to Easter market closures in several regions.
