U.S. stock futures saw a rise after significant losses in the market, following the implementation of new tariffs by President Trump on Canada and Mexico. This led to fears of retaliatory measures from these countries and impacted the markets negatively. However, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick suggested that there might be room for compromise regarding the tariffs. Market analysts are wary of the ongoing uncertainty which could dampen economic prospects going forward. Upcoming economic reports and earnings from key companies may further influence market sentiment.

The potential compromise on tariffs could stabilize market sentiment if it reduces trade war fears. However, the negative impact of the current economic uncertainty may still weigh heavily in the short term.
