Bitcoin Plunges As Consumer Confidence Falls: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday following Monday's mixed close. Futures of all the four benchmark indices declined in premarket trading.
Investor anxiety over tariffs and anticipation of Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) earnings this week weighed on the sentiment.
President Donald Trump confirmed on Monday that his administration will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43926015/trump-confirms-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-will-take-effect-as-planned">proceed with tariffs</a> on imports from Canada and Mexico, despite economic concerns. The decision, initially delayed by a month, will take effect next week, signaling a shift in North American trade relations.
Trump reiterated his stance at a White House press conference, arguing that foreign nations have unfairly benefited from U.S. trade policies and stressing the need for reciprocal tariffs. 
Treasury yields slipped on Tuesday. The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.34%, while the two-year yield was at 4.12%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 95.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
"Caution is warranted as we navigate the complex dynamics ahead," said economist Jeremy Siegel in his weekly market note as he said no economic data but Nvidia's earnings will be the most significant event this week.
Siegel who was a former professor at the University of Pennsylvania said that investors should remain focused on earnings strength, the trajectory of interest rates, and developments on the tariff front.
"While Growth stocks continue to dominate, any shift in margins or competitive dynamics—especially in AI—could create volatility.
Barchart in an X post shared a graph showing that the S&amp;P 500's price-to-book ratio has now surpassed the Dot Com Bubble high.

Louis Navellier of Navellier &amp; Associates highlights the growing pressure President Trump is placing on both German and U.S. companies to move operations to the U.S. to avoid higher tariffs.
In line with this, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) made a significant announcement on Monday, committing to invest $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, marking its largest domestic investment to date. The tech giant plans to hire 20,000 workers and produce AI servers on U.S. soil.
This move follows a recent meeting between Apple CEO Tim Cook and President Trump, who praised the company&#8217;s investment, saying, "He's investing hundreds of billions of dollars."
Trump has also threatened a 10% additional tax on imports from China, where Apple manufactures most of its products, including iPhones. Historically, "Trump has traded investment in the U.S. for tariff relief in the past, so it appears that Apple is doing its best to appease the Trump Administration."
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to be too concerned when after the worst week in months the S&amp;P is only 2.4% from all-time highs. The trend remains positive, but Nvidia could have a material impact in the short term, in either direction,&#8221; he added.
