Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise as shaken Wall Street awaits jobs report
Published On Mar 6, 2025, 7:40 PM
Today, US stock futures are showing signs of recovery as investors await the February jobs report. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures increased slightly amid uncertainty caused by President Trump's trade policies, particularly related to tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada. The market had faced turbulence recently due to concerns about a slowdown in AI technology demand following a disappointing forecast from Marvell. However, after-hours trading showed some signs of stabilization for major tech companies like Nvidia and a positive outlook from Broadcom, which reported strong second-quarter earnings.
