Stock futures decline after Dow's worst week since 2023

Stock futures fell on Sunday night, with Dow futures down 168 points, or 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite is now deeper in correction territory, and small-cap stocks are nearing a bear market, reflecting ongoing investor concerns. Last week, markets struggled amid uncertainty over President Trump's tariff policies and signs of economic weakness. The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain interest rates, but investors are closely watching for any changes in tone from Chair Jerome Powell. This week, the U.S. retail sales report will be released, with economists predicting a 0.6% increase in February. Investors are looking for clarity on the economic outlook as they assess the potential for a market recovery.
