Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq futures lose grip on records as Trump trade fizzles
Published On Nov 8, 2024, 7:47 AM
The stock market is experiencing a pullback as both S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures have lost ground. Following the initial excitement over Donald Trump winning the recent election, investor optimism is waning, particularly as doubts arise over his ability to implement proposed economic policies. Additionally, disappointment surrounding China's new fiscal stimulus plan has further dampened market sentiment. Despite this pullback, major indices have had a strong week overall, aided by an interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve.
