Morning Watchlist: Green Shoots to Start Monday
1 min read
Index futures are indicating a higher open by as much as 1% as no shocking trade headlines hit the market over the weekend. However, China has paused exports of a wide range of minerals that are critical components of semiconductors and the world’s electronics overall. President Trump also wrote on Truth Social that tariffs would still be coming to electronics, despite a reprieve last week. Investors will be watching headlines today, with light economic data and earnings, but a heavier slate tomorrow.
