US stock futures rise as Trump tariffs add uncertainty ahead of CPI report
- US stock futures increased slightly amid ongoing market uncertainty from President Donald Trump's new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, which began on Wednesday.
- The tariffs are aimed at reducing the US trade deficit and protecting American industries, but they have created market volatility and raised concerns about potential higher costs for manufacturers and consumers.
- Investors are anticipating a crucial inflation report that could significantly influence Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates, amid predictions of a 0.3% rise in headline inflation for February.
- Trump remains confident in economic growth despite the tariffs' risks, while analysts warn that persistent high inflation could limit the Fed's ability to lower rates.
