U.S. stock futures were swinging between gains and losses on Tuesday following Monday’s higher close. Futures of major benchmark indices were mixed.
On Monday night, President Donald Trump announced fresh tariffs against South Korea, for not "living up to" the trade agreement signed with the United States in July last year.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve will begin its first two-day policy meeting of the year, as traders are looking past the widely anticipated decision to hold rates steady on Wednesday to instead scrutinize the announcement for signals regarding the timing of future cuts.
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.21%, and the two-year bond was at 3.58%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 97.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in January.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, were higher in premarket on Tuesday. The SPY was up 0.26% at $694.52, while the QQQ advanced 0.56% to $628.97.
