Stock market today: S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq futures hit pause with fresh tariffs, Fed minutes in focus

The announcement of fresh tariffs, while potentially negative for long-term economic stability, seems to have not significantly impacted stock market trading in the short term as investors remain optimistic. The Fed's outlook will further shape market expectations regarding inflation and interest rates, which can influence future market performance.

Tariffs targeting the automotive sector could negatively affect companies within that segment. However, the overall optimism in the stock market could lead to maintaining a positive sentiment unless significant negative impacts from tariffs are noted in upcoming economic data.

Tech companies may also feel the impact if tariffs on semiconductor chips are implemented. As a technology sector stock, uncertainty may impact short-term investments, but investor sentiment remains strong overall, leading to possible resilience in stock prices.
