Stock Market Faces Uncertainty as Dow Futures Drop
Dow Jones futures decline early Monday, along with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures, as market volatility continued. Former President Donald Trump refused to rule out a possible recession, citing economic transitions. Investors remain wary as tariffs and global economic conditions weigh on the stock market.
The stock market is struggling as the top stocks decline.
The S&P 500 experienced a brief slump before a slight recovery, and the Nasdaq dropped below its 200-day moving average. Major tech stocks like Tesla (TSLA), Nvidia (NVDA), Netflix (NFLX), and Spotify (SPOT) witnessed large losses last week, and the Dow Jones fell 2.4%. The market is becoming more cautious as the AI stock rise headed by Nvidia seems to be halting.
Federal Reserve Holds Steady Despite Economic Concerns
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell maintained a positive outlook on the job market but noted that the Fed is waiting for “greater clarity” before making policy decisions. Investors are still wary despite Powell’s assurances, and concerns about a recession are intensifying.
What Will Happen to the Market Next?
The market is still in correction zone even if Friday was the first day of a possible rebound attempt. Many former leaders are struggling, but some areas, such as gold and insurance stocks, are doing well.
A government shutdown deadline is approaching, and this week will provide significant inflation data, so investors should prepare for more volatility. Experts advise staying cautious and waiting for a clearer market trend before making big investment decisions.
