Investing.com - U.S. stock futures edge down on Monday following a drop on Wall Street last week that was largely driven by uncertainty surrounding President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements. A reading from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York could grant investors a look into where U.S. consumers see the direction of inflation, while key consumer price data is due out later this week. 1. Futures tick lowerU.S. stock futures edged lower on Monday, as investors assessed the path ahead for President Trump’s tariff plans and looked ahead to a raft of key data this week.By 03:25 ET (07:25 GMT), the Dow futures contract had dipped by 156 points or 0.4%, S&P 500 futures had shed 27 points or 0.5%, and Nasdaq 100 futures had fallen by 118 points or 0.6%.Despite notching a gain on Friday, the benchmark S&P 500 slumped to its worst week in half a year, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has slid down by more than 10% since touching a record high in December -- putting it in correction territory.Late last week, Trump unveiled a temporary delay on 25% levies on most goods incoming from traditional U.S. trading partners Canada and Mexico until April 2. The postponement covers products that were included in a prior trade deal signed during Trump’s first term in office.Although markets breathed some sigh of relief at the decision, investors have still flagged major worries over the confusion swirling around Trump’s near-constant stream of threats, announcements and reversals. The tariffs are also clouding the outlook for inflation and growth, raising fresh fears over a potential slowdown in the U.S. economy.
