Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures fall following S&P's worst week since September
Published On Mar 9, 2025, 10:49 PM
US stock futures fell sharply on Sunday evening as investors reacted to a dismal week for the S&P 500, which posted its worst performance since September. Dow Jones futures were down 0.5%, S&P 500 futures dropped 0.7%, and Nasdaq futures fell by 1%. Market sentiment is currently shaky due to ongoing concerns over trade negotiations and inflation, exacerbated by President Trump's comments about a 'transition period' within the economy. Upcoming economic data, including reports on consumer inflation and consumer sentiment, may further influence market movements this week.
Stock Forecasts
SPY
Negative
The negative market trend is likely to continue as uncertainty around the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreements persists, along with inflation concerns that might impact consumer spending and economic growth. This will likely weigh heavily on market performance in the short term.
VXX
Positive
With high volatility in the markets and the potential for further declines in stock values, a conservative approach may be advisable. Investors might consider hedging their positions or focusing on defensive stocks and ETFs.
