Stock futures tumbled Sunday night to kick off a new trading month as investors weighed new U.S. tariffs on goods from key trade partners and their potential impact on the economy and corporate profits.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 528 points, or 1%. S&P 500 futures dropped 1.9%, while Nasdaq-100 futures lost 2.7%.

President Donald Trump on Saturday slapped a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. He also placed a 10% levy on imports from China. The U.S. does about $1.6 trillion in business with the three countries.

Canada responded with retaliatory tariffs of its own, while Mexico said it would explore levies on U.S. imports. The ******** government, meanwhile, said it would file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization.

The January nonfarm payrolls report will also be out Friday, adding color to the employment picture so far this year. Economists polled by Dow Jones expect that 175,000 jobs were added last month. The unemployment rate is predicted to have remained unchanged at 4.1%.

Stocks are coming off of a volatile few weeks. The three major U.S. indexes ended Friday’s trading session in the red, but traders still closed off the first month of the year with gains. The S&P 500 gained 2.7% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite added 1.6% in January, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average outperformed during the *******, jumping 4.7%.
