US Economic Calendar Today: Stock Futures Hold Steady as Traders Eye Fed Speeches, Treasury Buyback and Delayed Jobs Data

Futures for U.S. stocks held mostly steady early Monday, with the market eyeing two key pieces of economic data: the January jobs numbers out Wednesday — delayed from last week — and Friday’s consumer price index release. Both could help shape the Fed’s rate path. As of 4:52 a.m. EST, Dow E-minis edged up 46 points, or 0.09%. S&P 500 E-minis were off by 4 points, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis slipped 50.25 points. CME Group’s FedWatch tool showed markets still betting on a first rate cut in June. Earnings to watch before the bell: Kyndryl, Becton Dickinson, Apollo Global Management, and Loews.

Bitcoin drops below $70,000 as Warsh Fed pick spooks crypto — and Stifel flags $38,000 risk

Bitcoin plunged below $70,000 on Thursday, slipping to $69,858—the lowest level since November 2024—and erasing all gains since Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. presidential win. The cryptocurrency has shed nearly 8% this week and is down close to 20% for the year. Ether has plunged around 30%. Traders are bracing for tighter liquidity following Kevin Warsh’s nomination as the Federal Reserve chair. “The market fears a hawk with him,” said Manuel Villegas Franceschi of Julius Baer. Jefferies strategist Mohit Kumar warned that miners could face “forced liquidations” if prices continue to slide. Deutsche Bank analysts noted that U.S. spot bitcoin ETFs experienced over $3 billion in outflows during January, after $2 billion in December and $7 billion in November.
