The stock market gears up for a subdued opening on Tuesday, following a surge triggered by a disappointing jobs report, which bolstered speculations of impending interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve this year.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures show a modest increase of 37 points, equivalent to 0.1%, while S&P 500 futures remain nearly unchanged, rising less than 0.1%. Conversely, Nasdaq 100 futures exhibit a minor decline of 0.1% in premarket trading.

Commenting on the market dynamics, ING analyst Chris Turner noted in a research briefing on Tuesday, “Interest rate, equity, and FX [foreign exchange] volatility are witnessing a notable decline as the prospect of diverging monetary policy trajectories diminishes. This trend could persist leading up to the crucial release of US April CPI [consumer price index data] next week.”
