  • US stock futures fall ahead of Warsh speech, economic reports
    July 1, 2026, 6:52 AM EDT. US stock futures fell early Wednesday, with traders waiting for comments from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and the latest US factory data. Dow futures dropped 0.4%. S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures both slipped, down 0.4% and 0.6%. Stocks closed higher Tuesday, led by tech and chip names. Still, Wall Street weighed mixed data. May job openings came in stronger than forecasts, but numbers on housing and consumer confidence missed. The strong jobs reading pushed up the odds for a July rate hike. Warsh is scheduled to speak at the ECB forum in Sintra, possibly hinting at a change in the Fed's messaging. Tensions in the Middle East stayed in focus as US and Iran sat down for talks in Qatar, but crude held close to $73 while traders watched for any Strait of Hormuz flare-up.
