Market Jitters Rise as Futures Slip Amid Shutdown Fears

US stock futures edged lower on Tuesday as investors braced for the growing likelihood of a government shutdown and fresh trade tensions. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped about 0.2%, while S&P 500 contracts slipped 0.2% and Nasdaq 100 futures eased 0.1%.

The pullback followed President Trump’s latest tariff announcements targeting lumber, timber, and furniture imports, adding to concerns about the global economic outlook. Markets are also on edge as lawmakers face a midnight deadline to avert the first government shutdown since 2019. Vice President JD Vance signaled pessimism after failed negotiations, saying, “I think we’re headed to a shutdown”.

A shutdown would halt key government data releases, including the closely watched September jobs report, which is central to the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook. Investors are also awaiting earnings from Nike later today, while labor market data and consumer confidence readings are expected to provide additional clues on economic momentum.

At last check, the Dow hovered near 46,296, down slightly from its prior close. The S&P 500 traded around 6,661, up modestly, while the Nasdaq showed similar caution in early moves.
