US stock futures leaned higher on Tuesday after the Dow’s (^DJI) latest record close, as Wall Street geared up for retail sales figures to lead out a flood of crucial data, as the monthly jobs report loomed.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) hovered above the flatline, with a fresh all-time high just within reach. Meanwhile, contracts on the S&P 500 (ES=F) and the Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) moved up roughly 0.2% and 0.3, respectively, both looking to build on back-to-back closing wins.

Investors appear to have regained confidence that tech stocks can maintain their rebound from a recent pullback tied to concerns around software and megacap names. Nvidia (NVDA) chipmaker TSMC's (TSM) sales grew at their fastest rate in months in January, a solid sign of AI demand to rebut bubble fears.

The wait is now on for the release of December retail sales numbers on Tuesday morning, kicking off a flood of data that will provide a health check on the economy. At the same time, an ADP weekly employment lays the ground for Wednesday's all-important January jobs report, in high focus following last week's signs of softening in the labor market. The latest Consumer Price Index reading is then due on Friday to give a look at inflation pressures.

Meanwhile, investors combed through the latest batch of quarterly earnings, Coca-Cola (KO) and CVS Health (CVS) among them. Ford (F) is a highlight on Tuesday's docket after the market close.

Gold (GC=F) and bitcoin (BTC-USD) are still on investors’ radar, as the assets try to stabilize after last week’s sharp pullback. After rallying above $5,000 to start the week, gold slipped back slightly early Tuesday, though strategists remain bullish on its prospects this year. But a risk-off mood weighed on bitcoin, which resumed its slide to trade well below $69,000. The leading cryptocurrency has seen heavy volatility, driven by what one analyst called a "crisis of confidence."LIVE6 updates

The losses came after a volatile week that saw bitcoin face its worst daily drop since November 2022, followed by a sharp rebound.

Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani wrote in a note on Monday morning that the bear case for bitcoin remains weak, however.

"The current bitcoin price action is a mere crisis of confidence," Chhugani wrote. "Nothing broke, no skeletons will show up."

The Financial Times reports:

Donald Trump’s administration intends to spare companies including Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG) and Microsoft (MSFT) from forthcoming tariffs on chips as they race to build the data centers powering the AI boom.

The commerce department is planning to provide US hyperscalers with tariff carve-outs, which would be tied to investment commitments made by Taiwan-based chip group Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSM, 2330.TW), people familiar with the matter said.

The exemption scheme underscores President Trump’s determination to impose tariffs on chips and incentivise US domestic chipmaking, while offering some relief for the companies powering the US’s rapid AI expansion, which rely heavily on imported semiconductors.

Trump has used the threat of tariffs to push for more US manufacturing. But the administration has stopped short of applying broad tariffs on semiconductors from Taiwan, which would rock Big Tech’s AI supply chain.
