Trump Imposes New Duties Despite Supreme Court Rebuke

U.S. stock index futures experienced a dip on Monday as renewed tariff uncertainty began to affect investor sentiment. This decline followed President Donald Trump's announcement of a new 15% global duty. The introduction of these new tariffs comes shortly after a Supreme Court ruling on Friday that voided most of the levies Trump had imposed the previous year.

The Supreme Court's 6-3 decision determined that the emergency law Trump had utilized did not grant the authority for imposing such tariffs. However, the administration is now exploring alternative statutes to implement these duties, with the current 15% levy potentially lasting five months.
