Stock Market Opens Flat
Stock indices opened with slight changes: the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 25 points, the S&P 500 decreased by 0.03%, while the Nasdaq Composite remained flat. Following Monday's decline, investors are exercising caution.
Reaction to Lisa Cook's Dismissal
President Trump announced his move to fire Fed member Lisa Cook via Truth Social, citing 'sufficient cause' for her dismissal. Cook responded that she would not resign and that Trump lacks the authority to remove her. Investors and experts suggest that this event could influence future decisions within the Federal Reserve.
Future Economic Data and Investor Expectations
This month, experts will closely monitor economic reports, including the personal consumption expenditures price index, which is due out this week. Nvidia's earnings report is also anticipated on Wednesday.
