S&P 500 futures traded around the flatline on Tuesday morning after fears of a recession hitting the U.S. economy sparked a major selloff on Monday. Negative sentiment on Wall Street sent Asia-Pacific markets slumping overnight.
When asked about the possibility of a recession, Trump said during a Fox News interview that aired Sunday that the economy is going through a "transition period." Economists have argued that Trump has proven to be something of an "agent of chaos" with his unpredictable trade tariff policies but said a downturn is not imminent.
