U.S. stock futures fell on Monday after President Donald Trump said he’s raising his global tariffs to 15% following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the president’s “reciprocal” tariffs.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures dropped 261 points, or 0.5%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq-100 futures slid 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively.
Gold prices jumped, as the new tariffs heightened market uncertainty about the outlook for inflation and global growth. Spot gold advanced more than 1%, while gold futures rose 2%.
Bitcoin slumped, tumbling at one point to below $65,000, before recovering to above $66,000. It remains down 1.7% as the cryptocurrency’s sharp sell-off continues.
Those moves come after Trump on Saturday said he would increase the global tariff rate to 15%, up from the 10% he announced on Friday. Trump added that the new duties would go into effect immediately, though it was unclear whether any official documents had been signed regarding the timing.
The president also warned that additional levies would be coming over the next few months.
“I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been ‘ripping’ the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Officials in Europe expressed concern over the move, warning that its trade deals with the U.S. could be in jeopardy. The European Commission said in a statement Saturday that “the current situation is not conducive to delivering ‘fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial’ transatlantic trade and investment” and asked for “full clarity” from the U.S. government on its next steps.
Wall Street is coming off a choppy trading session. On Friday, stocks initially rallied after the Supreme Court struck down a broad swath of Trump’s trade agenda, before pulling back and then ultimately recovering again.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the session higher by more than 230 points, 0.5%, recovering from a 200-point loss earlier in the session. The S&P 500 gained 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.9%.
Investors hoped the Supreme Court ruling would soothe tensions between the U.S. and its trading partners and lead to possible refunds to companies affected by the tariffs, but are awaiting more clarity from the White House.
“It would seem that Wall Street — and Main Street — are going to be dealing with the issue of trade and tariffs for some time to come,” Tim Holland, chief investment officer of Orion Wealth Management, wrote on Friday.
Meanwhile, Iran remains a focal point for investors. This past week, Trump encouraged Iran to reach a deal over its nuclear program, warning that otherwise “bad things” might happen.
Trump is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday.
