Equity futures are pulling back, with some traders citing potential geopolitical escalations (Iran), and the potential that the SCOTUS updates on tariffs today; we also have a massive amount of US data in the premarket (including PCE/GDP)
What it means
Equity futures are pulling back in part due to worries regarding potential escalations in geopolitical tensions, particularly with Iran, which may impact market sentiment. Additionally, anticipation surrounding SCOTUS updates on tariffs combined with the influx of significant US data, including PCE and GDP, is creating uncertainty ahead of the market open. This combination of factors may lead to volatility as traders assess both the geopolitical landscape and economic fundamentals.
