U.S./Japan Deal, GOOGL & TSLA Earnings
U.S. stock futures are moving higher ahead of the Wall Street open after President Donald Trump announced the U.S. had reached a trade deal with Japan.
Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday night that the U.S. had completed a “massive Deal” with Japan. The agreement includes “reciprocal” tariffs of 15% on the nation’s exports to the U.S.
The president also said the U.S. is meeting with European officials in a push to reach a trade deal with the European Union.
The moves come after the S&P 500 closed at another record high on Tuesday, its 11th of 2025. Focus today will be on fallout from the trade news along with more earnings, including reports from Alphabet (GOOGL) and Tesla (TSLA) after the closing bell.
Snapshot (as of 7 AM ET)
