Dow Jones Futures Today: Trump Comments

“Early Tuesday, Dow Jones futures trimmed gains to about 0.5% vs. fair value, while S&P 500 futures were up about 0.4%. Nasdaq 100 futures moved 0.3% higher vs. fair value ahead of the stock market open. Remember that overnight action in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

Late Monday, President Trump promised an assertive response to the ongoing protests across the country. President Trump said, “I am mobilizing all federal and local resources, civilian and military, to protect the rights of law abiding Americans. If a city or state refuses to take the actions necessary to defend the life and property of their residents, then I will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them.”

Dow Jones futures initially fell in the wake of his comments, but reversed higher in overnight trade.”

Economic news

The focus today is on US-China tensions, but there are important economic news.

“U.S. consumer spending dropped by a record in April as the COVID-19 pandemic undercut demand, buttressing expectations that the economy could contract in the second quarter at its steepest pace since the Great Depression.

The Commerce Department said on Friday consumer spending, which accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, plunged 13.6% last month. That was the biggest drop since the government started tracking series in 1959, and followed a 6.9% tumble in March.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast consumer spending plummeting 12.6% in April.”
