Your lookahead horoscope: February 1, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You’re not much for inner conflict – you are generally happy with who you are and what you want from life – but there will be times this year when doubts start creeping in.

Trade War Escalation Sends Markets Tumbling

                                            

The stock market faced significant turbulence today as futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq slid sharply. This downturn comes in response to China's retaliatory tariffs against the United States, following President Trump's imposition of hefty duties on Chinese imports. Beijing announced an 84% tariff on U.S. goods, escalating tensions between the world's two largest economies.

Investors are grappling with the potential fallout of this trade war, which has already roiled global markets. The S&P 500 edged closer to bear market territory, while the Nasdaq and Dow futures dropped by over 2%. Oil prices also took a hit, with West Texas Intermediate falling below $55 per barrel.

As the trade conflict intensifies, market participants are closely watching for signs of resolution or further escalation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed optimism about potential trade deals, but uncertainty remains high. The Federal Reserve's upcoming minutes and inflation data may provide additional insights into the economic impact of these tariffs.
