Stock futures were little changed on Tuesday evening, after investors began the second half with a reduced appetite<\/a> for technology stocks.<\/p>\n Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> added 9 points. S&P 500 futures<\/a> were marginally higher, while Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> advanced 0.1%.<\/p>\n In regular trading, the blue-chip Dow<\/a> advanced 400 points, while the S&P 500<\/a> slipped 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite<\/a> lost 0.8% as traders shunned the high-flying tech stocks that drove the market’s second quarter rebound.<\/p>\n The information technology sector of the S&P 500 \u2013 whose constituents include Nvidia<\/a>, Palantir<\/a> and Advanced Micro Devices<\/a> \u2013 lost more than 1% on Tuesday, as did the communications services sector. Instead, investors gravitated toward health care and materials names. Gains in Amgen<\/a>, Johnson & Johnson<\/a> and UnitedHealth<\/a> lifted the 30-stock Dow.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, President Donald Trump’s tax-and-spending bill narrowly passed the Senate on Tuesday. The measure will return to the House<\/a>, where there are still hold-outs among GOP lawmakers.<\/p>\n “We expect to see more volatility in fixed income, even once they get the bill passed, whatever that looks like,” said<\/a> Jose Rasco, HSBC Global Private Banking and Wealth Management Americas CIO on “Closing Bell: Overtime<\/a>.” “That’s going to bleed over into the equity markets.”<\/p>\n Still, this turbulence is likely to be short-lived, he said. “Once these things get resolved and once the [Federal Reserve] gets back in gear, there’s a lot of upside here,” Rasco said.<\/p>\n Traders are also looking for any progress on trade deals as Trump’s 90-day pause on his sharpest tariffs is set to expire next week.<\/p>\n
