From Bloomberg

  • "US stock futures rallied, with futures on the Nasdaq 100 Index surging 1.2%, as traders snapped up beaten down tech shares and took optimism from signs that US tariffs may be more targeted. 

  • S&P 500 contacts also gained about 1% in early Monday trading. Tesla Inc. added about 4% in premarket trading. Nvidia Corp. and Palantir Technologies Inc. rose amid news that Jack Ma’s Ant Group Co. has developed AI techniques that could cut costs by 20%.

  • Meanwhile, the dollar weakened and Treasury yields ticked higher. European indexes were broadly little changed. German software developer SAP SE took the spot as Europe’s most-valuable public company, unseating Danish weight-loss drug maker Novo Nordisk A/S, whose shares have declined 18% this year. 

  • Investors were taking some comfort from indications that President Donald Trump’s coming wave of tariffs is poised to be more targeted than the barrage he has occasionally threatened. The administration is not planning separate, sectoral-specific tariffs to be unveiled at the same event on April 2, officials said.

  • “This raises the possibility that some sectors and countries may fare better than others, helping explain market optimism,” said Daniel Murray, chief executive officer of EFG Asset Management in Zurich. "
