Stock Futures Fall on Trump Fed Pick, Jobs Data Jitters

Wall Street braces for volatility as Trump's Fed pick and key jobs data loom. Stock futures point to a lower open, with tech stocks leading the decline.

  • ▸NEW YORK – Wall Street is bracing for a pivotal week as a confluence of market-moving catalysts—a surprise nominee for Federal Reserve Chair, a crucial report on the U.S. labor market, and a deluge of Big Tech earnings—threatens to inject significant volatility into a market already showing signs of fatigue.
  • ▸The Warsh Effect: The nomination has created a complex dynamic. While a hawkish chair would typically lead markets to price in rate hikes, fed funds futures are paradoxically still pricing in two rate cuts by the end of 2026. Some analysts suggest this reflects a bet that a hawkish policy shift could inadvertently slow the economy too quickly, forcing a policy reversal later in the year. This divergence underscores the deep uncertainty now facing investors.
