After enduring three consecutive sessions of losses driven by tariff tensions and global market volatility, US stock futures rebounded strongly on Monday, signaling a potential recovery in investor sentiment.
As of the latest update, Dow Futures surged 575 points (+1.51%) to 38,740, while S&P 500 Futures gained 58.25 points (+1.14%) to 5,155.50. Meanwhile, Nasdaq Futures advanced 195 points (+1.11%) to 17,758.25, highlighting renewed buying interest across major indices.
This uptick follows a week marked by heightened concerns over escalating trade tensions, particularly between the United States and China, as former President Donald Trump threatened additional tariffs and global markets saw a sharp sell-off. The three-day slide had erased significant value from Wall Street benchmarks, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both declining over 5% during the span.
While no concrete resolution has been reached, the rebound in futures is being seen as a short-term relief rally, potentially sparked by speculative hopes around easing rhetoric or diplomatic progress behind the scenes. Investors are also keeping a close eye on the US Federal Reserve, amid increasing expectations that a rate cut may eventually be considered to stabilize financial conditions.
Market participants remain cautious, but the green shoots in futures indicate that traders may be positioning for a bounce—at least in the short term—after last week’s turbulence.
