The Trump administration signaled plans to ease tariffs on foreign auto parts, a move expected to alleviate pressure on domestic manufacturers and reduce trade tensions.

The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq futures all edged higher, reflecting cautious optimism as traders await further clarity on trade policies and corporate performance.
