"US equity futures slipped after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed recent declines as healthy, reinforcing the view that the Trump administration is unlikely to step in to boost markets.
S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts fell 0.3%, indicating Wall Street’s four-week run of losses is set to deepen. In premarket trading, the Magnificent Seven group of tech stocks mostly edged lower, though Nvidia Corp. gained before its much anticipated conference on artificial intelligence. Europe’s Stoxx 600 index rose 0.4%, extending its year-to-date outperformance against US stocks.
Bessent told NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday that he’s not worried by the slump in US stocks, after about $5 trillion was wiped from the S&P 500’s value and the index tumbled into a correction. His comments are a blow to those harboring hopes that President Donald Trump will seek to cushion the market impact of his policies.
“This statement caused some alarm for many Wall Street types who had been counting on Bessent to be the second Trump administration’s ‘voice of reason’ on economic policy,” said Benjamin Picton, a strategist at Rabobank.
The comments effectively dash prospects that policymakers will throw “liquidity bones to financial markets whenever they showed signs of wobbling,” Picton added."
