07:26 AM EDT, 04/29/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Wall Street futures pointed moderately lower pre-bell Tuesday as traders weighed earnings season results, and awaited clarity on China-US trade relations, and other tariff issues.

Leggett & Platt (LEG) traded up 15.7% pre-bell after the manufacturing conglomerate posted solid Q1 earnings and revenue, and affirmed full-year guidance, late Monday.

On the economic calendar, in addition to the JOLTS release, is the international trade in goods, and the retail and wholesale inventories reports, all for March, at 8:30 am ET.
