American futures are mixed in the face of trade war worries
On Thursday, American equities were mixed because market participants were still anticipating a potential trade conflict.
The S&P 500 futures went up 0.02% hitting 2,754.50, Dow futures grasped no more 0.10% reaching 24,814.0. At the same time tech heavy Nasdaq 100 futures headed south 0.05% demonstrating an outcome of 7,054.50.
Trade war worries have generally resurfaced among market participants. It’s due to the fact that Donald Trump actually considered putting duties on Chinese imports.
The news showed up a week after Trump had rolled out abrupt duties on such metals as aluminum and steel. However, Mexico and Canada turn to be exempt because the administration considers negotiating a trade pact. Obviously, more duties could drive worries of a global trade conflict and also put pressure on investor appetite for risky assets.
