US stock futures climbed Tuesday after President Donald Trump approved a deal allowing Nvidia to resume shipments of its H200 AI chips to China. Nvidia shares rose more than 2% in after-hours trade. Trump also said that only “approved customers” in China and other regions will be able to buy Nvidia’s H2200 chips, with 25% of the sales value going to the US government. Investors also looked ahead to the start of the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting, where a 25 basis point rate cut is widely expected. However, the outlook for 2026 is less clear, with analysts expecting a “hawkish cut” in which Chair Jerome Powell signals caution on further easing. In Monday’s regular session, the Dow fell 0.45%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.35% and the Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.14%. Ten of the 11 S&P sectors ended lower, with technology the only gainer.
