The Dow Jones news today features a 45-point drop in Dow Jones futures after Apple unveiled its new "HomePod" device. In other stock market news, rising tensions in the Middle East and the upcoming testimony from former FBI Director James Comey are on traders' minds.

Here are the numbers from Monday for the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq:

Index Previous Close Point Change Percentage Change
Dow Jones 21,184.04 -22.25 -0.10%
S&P 500 2,436.10 -2.97 -0.12%
Nasdaq 6,295.68 -10.11 -0.16%

Now here's a closer look at today's most important market events and stocks, plus Tuesday's economic calendar.

The Five Top Stock Market Stories for Tuesday

  • The Trump administration is likely to unveil its proposed changes to the Dodd-Frank Act as soon as today. President Trump has promised significant revisions to the post-crisis era financial reform law. Financial institutions have been lobbying for regulatory changes at community banks and some relief from stress testing. But we don't expect an updated Glass-Steagall Act...

The Biggest Pot IPO of the Year: A highly anticipated marijuana company IPO will happen any day now, and analysts are projecting a massive 254% gain right off the bat for private investors. But you must hurry. Read more...

  • Investors are keeping an eye on President Trump and the Federal Reserve. The president is expected to nominate two people - Randal Quarles and Marvin Goodfriend - to fill two of the three vacancies at the central bank. The president is likely set to nominate the two men before the June FOMC meeting, where the central bank is widely expected to raise interest rates.

  • Crude oil pricesĀ are under pressure as markets attempt to weigh the sudden diplomatic isolation of Qatar from its neighbors in the Middle East. Five countries cut ties with Qatar Monday and accused the small Persian Gulf nation of funding ISIS and other terrorist groups. The sudden geopolitical shake-up has raised concerns about the stability of a deal among OPEC producers to curb excessive production. TheĀ WTI crude oil price todayĀ fell 0.4%. Brent crude dipped 0.3%.
  • Wall Street just received a big win from the U.S. Supreme Court. The high court has handcuffed the Securities and Exchange Commission in its power to recoup ill-gotten profits from professional misconduct. If you've been reading Money Morning Capital Wave Strategist Shah Gilani, you shouldn't be surprised by this development. Recently, Shah pulled back the curtain to reveal many ways that Wall Street greed has hollowed out the middle class for ill-gotten gains. More importantly, he also taught our readers how to play this rigged game for profit.

What Can We Expect from North Korea?

  • On the global front, China has increased its political pressure on North Korea by slashing its coal deliveries to the "Hermit Kingdom." The world's second-largest economy is attempting to get Kim Jong Un to halt his nuclear ambitions and stop testing weapons. Unfortunately, those efforts are being undermined by a regional neighbor: Russia. According to Russian state-owned media firm Sputnik, Russia has increased its trade with North Korea by 73% over the last year and dramatically increased its coal deliveries. North Korea is now surviving on Russia's dime, and investors need to dig deeper here.

Four Stocks to Watch Today: AAPL, THO, GM, AMBA
