U.S. stock futures fell Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, after President Donald Trump threatened a 10% additional tariff on imports from eight European countries. Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the U.K., the Netherlands and Finland issued a joint rebuke; S&P 500 futures dropped about 0.8% and Dow futures fell 0.7%. Traders also monitored Asian markets, China growth and upcoming U.S. inflation data.
Key Points
