Stock futures hovered around baseline levels after Thursday's market close, reflecting cautious optimism among investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all saw slight increases as traders processed the latest developments regarding tariffs proposed by former President Donald Trump.

Investors are weighing the potential for increased costs against the backdrop of a resilient labor market and ongoing economic recovery.
As the trading week wraps up, market participants remain vigilant, seeking clarity on future policy directions and their effects on corporate earnings. The upcoming economic reports and earnings season are expected to provide further insights, influencing market sentiment in the days ahead. Overall, the modest uptick in futures indicates a wait-and-see approach as investors navigate the evolving landscape.
