08:11 AM EDT, 03/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were little changed pre-bell Wednesday as traders awaited President Donald Trump's announcement next week on reciprocal trade tariffs.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 0.1%, S&P 500 futures increased 0.05%, and Nasdaq futures were flat.

Investors remained focused on tariffs as the Trump administration attempts to reshape US trade policy. The White House is expected to deploy additional measures on April 2.

Oil prices were higher, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude up 0.9% at $73.00 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude up 0.9% at $69.62 per barrel.

New orders for durable goods, scheduled for release at 8:30 am ET, are expected to have dropped by 1.1% in February, following a 3.1% jump in January, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
