US stock futures were mixed as uncertainty looms over President Trump's impending tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are seeing fluctuations ahead of significant earnings reports this week, and concerns are mounting due to an unexpected decline in consumer spending. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies surged after Trump announced the inclusion of several digital assets in a strategic reserve, causing notable price increases, especially for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
