S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq Futures Slip Ahead Of Big Tech Earnings Week

Stock futures edged lower ahead of a critical week of earnings reports and economic data that will offer fresh insight into the U.S. economy’s response to President Trump’s tariffs, Rian Howlett reported for Yahoo Finance.

Markets remain skittish as April’s final trading week gets underway.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 slipped 0.2%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq futures each dipped 0.2% as well. Wall Street is coming off a strong run last week, with the S&P 500 posting its longest daily winning streak since January.

Gains were fueled by Trump's easing pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and hints at a possible resolution to the 145% tariffs on China.

While investor sentiment looks cautiously optimistic, markets remain skittish as April’s final trading week gets underway. Earnings will take center stage, with 180 S&P 500 companies scheduled to report quarterly results.

Big Tech will lead the headlines, with Apple, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft all set to announce earnings, alongside major players like Coca-Cola, Eli Lilly, and Chevron.
