Stock futures have shown little change as the S&P 500 experienced a modest gain at the beginning of June, albeit amid escalating tensions in US-China trade relations. Despite tariffs causing uncertainty, US stocks pushed higher, with the Nasdaq leading gains, bolstered by positive performances from tech giants like Nvidia. Market participants are closely monitoring the impact of ongoing trade negotiations, with investors hoping for progress as some officials indicate that certain trade deals are nearing completion. However, concerns over weak manufacturing data and tariff threats are creating a mixed outlook, and stocks have been seen fluctuating in response to these developments.
