real estate

US equity futures are higher, led by Tech as investors largely ignored tariff headlines, in this case the 25% tariffs on steel/aluminum which were announced yesterday, and which will predominantly impact both Canada and Mexico. As of 8:00am ET, S&P futures are 0.5% higher, reversing half of Friday's drop as the tariff news lifted American metals stocks, with US Steel Corp. surging as much as 15% in premarket. Alcoa Corp. rallied 5%. Nasdaq futures are up 0.6%, with Mag7 names all higher ex-TSLA with Semis and Financials catching a bid. Bond yields are mostly unchanged with USD higher. Commodities are seeing strength across the entire complex with gold’s record run continuing, now above $2900.
