Wall Street Futures Decline as New Tariff Proposals Weigh on Sentiment

U.S. stock indexes are set for a lower open today as investors react to new tariff proposals. Markets remain cautious ahead of Nvidia earnings this week.

Insights:
Wall Street main indexes, including the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, were set to open lower on Monday following an announcement by President Donald Trump regarding a new 15% global tariff. This decision comes after the Supreme Court struck down most of the tariffs he had imposed last year, a move that has immediately curbed risk appetite across financial markets. The sudden policy shift has effectively halted a prior relief rally as investors react to the renewed trade tensions.
