Futures Slip Again as Markets Brace for More Volatility After Davos

  U.S. stock futures edged lower early Wednesday, extending the unease that followed a sharp sell‑off in the previous session. Dow futures dipped, S&P 500 futures softened, and Nasdaq futures also slipped as investors continued to process the market’s sudden shift in sentiment. The downturn comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His remarks, delivered against a backdrop of global uncertainty, did little to calm investors already rattled by geopolitical tensions and renewed concerns about the economic outlook. Tuesday’s sell‑off marked one of the most turbulent trading days in recent months, driven by a flight to safety and heightened anxiety across global markets. With futures pointing lower again, traders appear to be bracing for another cautious session as they look for signs of stability.

The United States has yet to elect a woman president in its 248-year history


       

The United States, in its 248-year history, has yet to elect a woman president. This could change with Vice President Kamala Harris launching her 2024 presidential campaign. Harris, a 59-year-old Black and Asian-American woman, is backed by President Joe Biden, who recently withdrew from the race due to concerns about his age and health.

Harris’ campaign is already gaining momentum, with significant support from Democratic leaders and a surge in fundraising. Her strong stance on abortion rights resonates with younger voters and progressives, potentially energizing these key demographics. Despite some concerns within the party, Harris is determined to unite the Democrats and defeat Republican candidate Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
