U.S. stock futures edged lower Monday as investors turned cautious ahead of a looming trade deadline set by President Donald Trump. With the July deadline for negotiations approaching, traders are bracing for potential policy shifts that could impact global markets.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) dropped 6.8% in premarket trading after CEO Elon Musk announced plans to form a new political party, fueling concerns that his political ambitions could distract from Tesla’s operations.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) slipped 0.5% after the tech giant moved to challenge a €500 million ($587 million) fine from European regulators in court. The penalty stems from alleged violations of landmark EU antitrust laws targeting Big Tech dominance.
Stellantis (NYSE: STLA) shares fell 4.5% following news that the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched a probe into 1.2 million Ram trucks over transmission issues.
Shell (NYSE: SHEL) ADRs declined 3.1% after issuing a weaker-than-expected Q2 trading update, citing lower downstream earnings and soft trading performance.
MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) dropped 1.8% after Goldman Sachs initiated coverage with a “sell” rating, citing concerns over market volatility in Las Vegas.
Geo Group (NYSE: GEO) surged 7.5%, and CoreCivic (NYSE: CXW) rose 2.7% after Trump’s tax-and-spending bill passed, significantly boosting immigrant detention funding—a key revenue source for both private prison operators.
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) slipped 1.6% as Piper Sandler downgraded the stock to “neutral,” citing limited upside at current valuations.
Chubb (NYSE: CB) also dipped 1% after Barclays lowered its rating to “equal weight,” noting constrained growth prospects.
Investors continue to monitor macroeconomic developments and corporate moves as markets enter a pivotal week.
