Summary
Stock futures surged Monday night as optimism around a potential U.S.-Iran deal lifted markets, with the Dow up 440 points, S&P 500 rising 0.9%, and Nasdaq climbing 1.3%. Oil prices plunged 6% on hopes for de-escalation, while President Trump signaled progress in talks but warned of possible military action if negotiations collapse. Markets have shown strong resilience, with the S&P 500 on its longest winning streak since late last year, fueled by solid earnings forecasts. Yet, high oil prices are tempering expectations for Fed easing—traders now see a higher chance of a July rate hike. With diplomacy and earnings driving sentiment, the week ahead remains pivotal.
