Stock futures rose Tuesday as traders looked to recover following a rough day on Wall Street, as President Donald Trump’s latest criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hurt sentiment. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 336 points, or 0.9%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each gained about 0.9%. Tuesday’s action comes on the heels of a sharp sell-off. The Dow dropped more than 970 points in the regular session, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both slid more than 2%. Monday marked the fourth straight losing session for the Dow and Nasdaq. Investors grew increasingly uncertain after Trump posted on Truth Social that the economy would slow if the Fed did not cut interest rates. In the latest of multiple recent posts calling out Powell by name, he called the Fed chief “Mr. Too Late” and a “major loser.” Trump hinted at Powell’s “termination” last week, an unprecedented action that White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said the president’s team was currently studying. Powell has said he cannot be fired under law and intends to serve through the end of his term in May 2026. Monday’s steep sell-off comes amid a turbulent period for stocks since Trump’s initial announcement of “reciprocal” tariffs rocked financial markets. The three major indexes have all tumbled more than 9% since Trump first unveiled his plan for levies on April 2. “There’s just so much uncertainty right now with the tariff cycle and with the economy,” said Larry Tentarelli, founder of the Blue Chip Daily Trend Report. “Adding one more layer of uncertainty with Jerome Powell just adds more volatility to the markets overall.” Investors will watch Tuesday morning for manufacturing survey results from the Richmond Fed. Several Fed officials including Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari and Fed Governor Adriana Kugler are expected to give speeches throughout the day. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury slipped on Tuesday as investor sentiment remained under pressure from stalled developments in global trade. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield was 1 basis point lower at 4.395%. The 2-year Treasury yield was 5 basis points higher at 3.802%. Asia-Pacific markets were subdued Tuesday, tracking Wall Street’s sell-off after U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his pressure campaign on Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Japan’s Nikkei 225 slipped 0.17% to close at 34,220.6 while the Topix added 0.13% to close at 2,532.12. South Korea’s Kospi traded flat to close at 2,486.64 and the small-cap Kosdaq inched 0.09% higher to close at 716.12. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.03% to close at 7,816.7. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index rose 0.78% to close at 21,562.32. Mainland China’s CSI 300 traded flat to close at 3,783.95. Oil prices fell more than 2% on Monday on signs of progress in talks between the U.S. and Iran while investors remained concerned about economic headwinds from tariffs which could curb demand for fuel. Brent crude futures slipped $1.70, or 2.5%, to close at $66.26 a barrel after closing up 3.2% on Thursday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude settled at $63.08 a barrel, down $1.60, or 2.47%, after settling up 3.54% in the previous session. Thursday was the last settlement day last week because of the Good Friday holiday. Gold prices continued their record rally on Tuesday, driven by concerns over U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, which dampened risk sentiment and drove investors towards the safe-haven bullion. Spot gold was up 1.4% at $3,472.49 an ounce, as of 0247 GMT, after touching a record high of $3,473.03 per ounce earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures firmed 1.7% to $3,482.40.
