Stock Market Today Live Updates: Stock Futures Slip After Donald Trump Extends Reciprocal Tariff Deadline To August 1
Stock futures slipped a bit overnight after President Trump slapped new tariffs on 14 countries and pushed the “reciprocal” tariff deadline out to August 1.
Dow futures dropped 99 points—not a massive dive, but enough to make investors take notice. S&P 500 futures nudged down 0.16%, and Nasdaq 100 futures barely budged but still ended up in the red.
The latest move came after Trump released more letters late Monday, bumping the list of countries facing hefty tariffs on August 1 up to 14. The newly targeted nations? Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Serbia, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, and Tunisia.
Trump didn’t just stop at tariffs—he also signed an executive order shifting the “reciprocal” tariff deadline to August 1. He chalked up the extension to “additional information and recommendations from various senior officials.” Classic D.C. shuffle.

The vaccine is likely to be introduced in some African countries in a few weeks.
Until now, there was no any specific vaccine for babies to treat malaria.
President Trump has given countries a bit more time to wrap up their trade deals, pushing the deadline from July 8 all the way to July 31. But here’s the catch—if countries don’t meet the deadline, they could face hefty tariffs of up to 40% starting August 1. India, for example, has already received formal warning letters about these tariffs. These new duties will stack on top of existing Most Favoured Nation (MFN) rates, but they won’t affect sectors like steel, aluminum, autos, and auto parts since those already have separate high tariffs. Take Japan: products like pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and...
