US stock futures have risen slightly following President Trump's announcement of new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 futures increased by about 0.2%, while Nasdaq futures rose by 0.3%. Market attention is now turning toward the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which is expected to provide insights into inflation and potential impacts on interest rates amidst economic uncertainties.

The announcement of new tariffs has historically led to market volatility; however, the current mild rise in futures suggests that investors may be optimistic about the economic growth touted by the President. However, volatility could increase with the CPI report's release, which may influence the market's stability depending on inflation data.
