Futures down: Dow 0.45%, S&P 500 0.74%, Nasdaq 0.97%

Oct 14 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures dipped on

Tuesday following a partial recovery in the previous session, as

renewed worries about a U.S.-China trade war soured risk

sentiment.

The U.S. and China on Tuesday began charging additional port

fees on ocean shipping firms that move everything from holiday

toys to crude oil, reviving trade tensions.

President Donald Trump's conciliatory tone on trade tensions

with China and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comments that

the U.S.-China meet later this month remained on track helped

the main U.S. indexes end sharply higher in the previous

session.

Wall Street tumbled on Friday after Trump threatened to

impose additional 100% tariffs on Chinese goods over Beijing's

rare earths export controls.

Apart from the growing trade concerns between the world's

two largest economies, investor focus will also be on Federal

Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's speech at the NABE annual meeting

for further insight into the U.S. central bank's monetary policy

path.

At 5:22 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 208 points,

or 0.45%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 49.75 points, or

0.74%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 241.75 points,

or 0.97%.

Also in focus will be the earnings season which will help

investors assess impacts of tariffs on Wall Street's largest

companies.

Some major U.S. banks including JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ),

Goldman Sachs ( GS ), Citigroup ( C/PN ), and Wells Fargo ( WFC )

are set to release quarterly results on the day.

Their earnings reports will provide fresh clues on the

economy at a time when major official data releases remain

delayed due to an ongoing government shutdown.

Analysts on average expect S&P 500 companies' third-quarter

earnings to grow 8.8% from a year ago, according to LSEG data.

The AI-driven momentum and optimism around U.S. rate cuts

have helped markets in recent months. AI-related tech stocks

were the biggest winners in Monday's rebound.

Broadcom ( AVGO ) lost 1.9% in premarket trading after

surging almost 10% on Monday when it partnered with OpenAI to

produce the startup's first in-house artificial intelligence

processors.

Among other moves, shares of U.S. rare earth miners rose

premarket, adding to their sharp gains in the previous session.

Analysts expect the U.S. to ramp up efforts towards reducing

reliance on China.

Critical Metals rose 35.9%, USA Rare Earth ( USAR )

gained 12.3% and MP Materials ( MP ) advanced 8.7%.

U.S.-listed shares of Chinese companies fell. Alibaba Group

, JD.com and PDD Holdings ( PDD ) declined 3.6%,

1.1%, and 2.5%, respectively.
