NewsWare's Trade Talk: Friday, August 1

S&P Futures are down sharply this morning as markets react to the latest tariff news from President Trump. After markets closed yesterday, President Trump announced increased tariffs on multiple U.S. trading partners and warned that any nation supporting the "Anti-American policies of BRICS" would face an extra 10% tariff with no exceptions. He also sent letters to the CEOs of 17 major pharmaceutical companies demanding that they substantially reduce prescription drug prices in the United States within 60 days. This morning release of the monthly Non-Farms Payrolls data is being highly anticipated as it is a key data point in the Feds decision making process. On the earnings front, AAPL, BOOT, CVX, RDDT are higher after announcements. AMZN, FLR, IR ROKU are lower. On Monday morning, earnings reports are expected from BNTX, ON, TSN, L, W and TSEM.
