Wall Street Set to Slip Into the Red After Volatile Trading Session

US stock futures were trading lower early Thursday following a turbulent session on Wall Street that snapped a multi‑day rally and left investors on edge amid mounting economic and political concerns. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by about 0.35%, while those for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were down roughly 0.2%, extending earlier losses in the day. On Wednesday, the Dow and S&P 500 both closed in negative territory despite reaching intraday highs, while the Nasdaq Composite managed only a modest gain. The market’s fragile sentiment comes as geopolitical tensions persist and traders brace for key developments later in the week. Oil prices continued to weaken after comments from former President Donald Trump that Venezuela could supply up to 50 million barrels of crude to the US, potentially giving Washington longer‑term influence over the nation’s oil output. Investors are also closely watching for a forthcoming Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Trump‑era tariffs, due as early as Friday, which could present a major legal and economic inflection point. Additionally, the December US jobs report — a critical indicator of labor market health — is set to be released, along with key insights emerging from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2026, where artificial intelligence discussions are shaping tech‑sector expectations. #WallStreet #StockMarket #EconomicOutlook #InvestingNews #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
