Stock futures fall on Sunday evening after S&P 500's worst week since September: Live updates
Published On Mar 9, 2025, 6:03 PM
Stock futures declined on Sunday evening following a rough week for the markets. The S&P 500 dropped 3.10%, marking its worst performance since September. Concerns stemmed from negotiations over tariffs involving the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, as well as uncertainty surrounding economic conditions. The upcoming week's data releases, particularly related to inflation, are anticipated to influence market movements further. New additions to the S&P 500 include DoorDash and Williams-Sonoma, which are expected to see trading activity related to their index inclusion.
Stock Forecasts
SPY
Negative
The recent declines in stock futures suggest increased market volatility and uncertainty, particularly with inflation data set to release this week. The negative sentiment may impact overall market performance leading to conservative trading within the indices.
DASH
Positive
With DoorDash and Williams-Sonoma set to join the S&P 500, these stocks are likely to see positive trading volume as index funds adjust to the changes. This could lead to a temporary price boost for both companies before any broader market trends take over.
WSM
Positive
Williams-Sonoma could benefit from its new position in the S&P 500 as institutional investors may need to buy shares, boosting demand. However, broader market pressures could temper this effect, making it essential to monitor its performance closely especially in light of the economic climate.
