[Pre-market analysis of U.S. stocks] U.S. stock futures rise affected by Trump's new tariffs (2025.08.07)

U.S. stock futures have risen due to Trump's new tariff policy, technology stocks are facing challenges, and Apple announced an increase in investment to boost market sentiment. In terms of individual stocks, Eli Lilly fell, while Duolingo and DoorDash rose sharply. International market and geopolitical factors may continue to affect the market direction.

U.S. stock futures rise affected by Trump's new tariffs

U.S. stock futures rose, mainly affected by Trump's new tariff policy. U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs came into effect today, causing U.S. stock futures to show an upward trend in pre-market trading. Nasdaq futures rose 0.8%, while S & P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures each rose 0.6%. In addition, Bitcoin rose 1%, trading at more than $116,000, 10-year U.S. bond yields also rose, and oil prices and gold futures also rose.

Trump celebrates the entry into force of new tariffs, emphasizes contribution to the U.S. economy

Trump said on his social platform that the new tariff policy will bring billions of dollars in revenue to the United States. These tariffs target dozens of trading partners, of which Switzerland and India are most affected. Switzerland will face a 39% tariff that could affect the price of Nespresso products and watches, while India will face an additional 25% tariff for continuing to buy Russian oil.

Individual stocks performed mixed, Eli Lilly shares fell

Eli Lilly's shares fell 8% in pre-market trading. Although the company's second-quarter results exceeded expectations and raised its full-year forecast, trial results of its oral weight loss drug failed to meet investor expectations. The drug lost an average weight of 12.4% in the phase 3 trial, compared to 0.9% for placebo.

Duolingo and DoorDash shares rise sharply

Shares of language-learning app Duolingo surged nearly 25% in pre-market trading after reporting strong second-quarter results. The company's revenue increased 41% year-on-year to $252.3 million and raised its full-year forecast. On the other hand, DoorDash reported that it set multiple records in the second quarter, including total orders and revenue, pushing the stock price up 9%.

Technology stocks face challenges, Apple investment boosts the market

Recently, chip stocks have performed poorly, and investors have increased their requirements for company execution. Still, Apple (AAPL) announced a $100 billion increase in U.S. manufacturing investment, sending its share price up 5% and driving overall market sentiment. In addition, Asian markets generally rose, with Japan's Topix index hitting a new high.

International market and geopolitical influence continues

Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported chips unless companies make them in the United States, which could further affect global supply chains. India expressed dissatisfaction with the new U.S. tariff policy, calling it unfair and unreasonable, and pointed out that other countries trade more with Russia. These geopolitical developments may further affect market trends in the future.

Overall, pre-market trading in U.S. stocks today was affected by multiple factors

Including Trump's new tariff policy, individual stock performance and international market dynamics. Investors need to pay close attention to the actual impact of these factors on market opening.
