From Bloomberg
"S&P 500 futures slipped as US efforts to limit China’s technological prowess sparked broad declines for chipmaker shares. Bitcoin tumbled below $90,000.
Contracts on both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 pointed to another jittery session as chip giant Nvidia Corp. dropped in early trading. ASML Holding NV and STMicroelectronics NV also fell as US President Donald Trump spelled out more measures to curb China’s semiconductor industry and urged allies to the same.
Uncertainty on how the new US administration’s policies will affect global growth and long-established economic and political alliances has prompted investors to pare risk and switch to havens like Treasuries or gold. Trump signaled Monday that tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports will go ahead.
“At the moment there’s a lot of uncertainty reigning in the background which is making it challenging for investors to navigate,” said Alexandra Morris, an investment director at Skagen AS. “The whole tariff discussion is the main negative catalyst.”
The VIX Index, a measure of volatility known as the “fear gauge,” touched its highest level this year at just below 20.
Nvidia’s earnings report on Wednesday could be yet another catalyst to unleash volatility given its outsized impact on the broader market.
“Bear in mind that the market impact of Nvidia’s results have often proved to be as significant as US jobs reports over the last couple of years,” Deutsche Bank AG strategist Jim Reid wrote in a note to clients."
