Stock futures increased slightly after a sell-off triggered by recession fears. Investors are concerned about the U.S. economy as comments from President Trump and guidance from Delta Air Lines added to the anxiety. Analysts suggest fears may be overstated, with upcoming economic reports anticipated.

Investors are grappling with concerns about the economy as President Trump's tariff commitments create uncertainty, leading to a mixed performance in global markets after a significant drop in the S&P 500.

A new report by Knight Frank indicates a 5.2% increase in multimillionaires in the U.S., highlighting the country's dominance in wealth generation amid global economic challenges.

Despite a rocky market start this year, S&P 500 companies have continued to increase dividends, with notable hikes by Coca-Cola, Walmart, and others, providing a silver lining for income investors.

The S&P 500 index experienced a decline in February but may see a seasonal improvement in March, supported by historical data. Analysts, however, caution due to the impact of the recent elections.
