Stock futures inch higher after S&P 500, Dow Jones log worst day since October 2025 — What to know

Stock futures saw a slight upward movement on Tuesday night after major averages in the US clocked their worst day in three months.

The futures related to the Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked upward by 85 points, or nearly 0.2%. Meanwhile, S&P 500 futures advanced around 0.2% as well, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.1%.

On Tuesday, US equities saw a meltdown, posting sharp losses across sectors, as President Donald Trump refused to back down on his tariff threats to EU countries over Greenland ahead of his scheduled appearance at Davos on Wednesday.

The renewed tensions drove the S&P 500 down 2.1%, erasing its 2026 gain and seeing its biggest drop since October. Technology stocks were the biggest weights. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.8%. The Nasdaq composite slumped 2.4%.

All the three benchmark indices posted their worst performance since 10 October, 2025. The unprecedented selloff also dragged S&P 500 and Nasdaq to their negative territories for 2026.
