U.S. equity futures fell Thursday evening after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1.
Futures tied to the benchmark S&P 500 declined 0.48%. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.57%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 0.45%, or 202 points.
This comes as investors continued piling into risk assets, sending the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to new closing records.
In regular trading, the broad market S&P gained 0.27% to end the day at 6,280.46, while the tech-focused Nasdaq finished higher by 0.09% at 20,630.67. The Dow advanced 192 points, or 0.43%, closing at 44,650.64.
The moves came as investors shrugged off any worries around the latest trade developments, including a 50% U.S. tariff on imported copper that President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night, as well as a 50% tariff on Brazil.
Trump also told NBC News’ Kristen Welker late Thursday that letters could be sent to Canada and the European Union with the latest tariff proposals as soon as today.
