S&P 500 at the lows: Trump will take part in the White House press briefing today

At the top of the hour (1 pm ET), US President Trump is set to join Karoline Leavitt at the podium for the White House press conference.

These things rarely run on time so standby for a bit. The S&P 500 is at the lows of the day, down 1.6%, or 109 points, to 6831. The index could certainly swing depending on what sort of positions Trump stakes out.

Shifting to S&P 500 futures, the overnight low was 6935 and we’re about 30 points away from that.

Anything to bring down the temperature could spark a sharp reversal in stock markets.
