From Bloomberg
"US stocks were set for a modest retreat from their latest record highs as concerns around trade tariffs weighed on sentiment. Gold set a fresh all-time high.
Contracts on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 slipped by about 0.3%. Palantir Technologies Inc. was among the biggest losers in US premarket trading, on track to extend Wednesday’s 10% slide, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlined plans to cut military spending by 8% over the coming years.
Video game platform Vimeo Inc. and used car retailer Carvana Co. slumped in premarket after disappointing earnings. China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. was a bright spot, adding more than 7% after third-quarter revenues beat estimates. Its result also helped lift Chinese e-commerce peers, with JD.com Inc. and PDD Holdings Inc. both rallying in premarket trading.
The mixed corporate results added to market jitters over US President Donald Trump’s threats to widen trade tariffs and his wavering support for Ukraine and its European allies. The geopolitical tensions lifted gold prices to a new record above $2,954 an ounce.
“We saw a shift in the tone of the US on how they are going to approach the Russia-Ukraine environment, and this shifting tone is bringing about some uncertainty for markets,” said Shaniel Ramjee, investment manager at Pictet Asset Management."
