US Stock Futures Jump as Trump Tries to Ease China Trade Tensions
US stock futures moved higher after former President Donald Trump gave a positive message about trade relations with China. His comments helped calm market worries after last week’s big sell-off.
Dow futures rose about 0.8%, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were up nearly 1%. This recovery came after Friday’s heavy losses, when Trump warned about possible 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. That statement had shaken investor confidence, leading to a sharp fall in all major indexes.
Over the weekend, Trump took a softer tone, saying, “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine.” He also mentioned that both countries have a mutual interest in keeping trade stable. His words, along with diplomatic messages from US officials, gave traders hope that tensions might cool down.
The market now expects fewer chances of new tariffs or harsh trade measures. If relations between the US and China stay calm, investor confidence could keep improving this week.
Impact:
US stock futures might stay positive if trade talks remain friendly. But any new tariff threats could possibly bring back volatility and market pressure.
