Markets hold steady as Iran ceasefire offers cautious upside

Stock futures were little changed on Friday as traders weigh a fragile two-week U.S.–Iran ceasefire, following a Thursday rally that lifted the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow to weekly gains. Oil prices fluctuated near peaks as geopolitical tensions persist, while investors await March CPI and other data ahead of earnings season. The week has seen broad gains across major indices, with markets in Asia-Pacific also higher on relief over the ceasefire news.

Markets drift as futures ease after Monday’s slide amid inflation talks and Middle East tensions

U.S. stock futures were little changed after Monday’s losses, with the S&P 500 down 0.39%, Nasdaq down 0.73%, and the Dow up 0.11%. The CBOE VIX topped 30 as geopolitical tensions persisted and oil prices rose. Eight of 11 GICS sectors rose (financials +1.1%, utilities +0.7%), while industrials, information technology and energy lagged. President Trump signaled progress toward ending operations in Iran and Powell said inflation is in check, providing some relief ahead of Tuesday’s March consumer-confidence data and February JOLTS. The market remains vigilant for a potential normal 10% correction as investors weigh macro risks.

Dow slides toward 2026 low as inflation fears and Iran conflict weigh on markets

U.S. stock futures edged lower after a rough session in which the Dow tumbled about 768 points to a 2026 closing low, as hotter inflation signals and the Iran conflict kept investors cautious. Dow futures fell roughly 0.1%, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures down about 0.2% and 0.3%; oil prices rose, with Brent near $113.5 a barrel and WTI around $97. Micron beat on revenue but its stock slid over 4% in extended trading. Investors await weekly jobless claims and the Philly Fed index, while global markets remained in the red. The duration of the Iran war looms large, shaping inflation and growth expectations and the path of Federal Reserve policy, with markets pricing roughly a 50/50 chance of a rate hold in 2026.

Oil Surge, Weak Jobs Hit Dow as Markets Extend Weekly Slump

U.S. equities opened lower as oil prices climbed amid Middle East tensions and February jobs data disappointed, with the Dow down about 676 points (roughly 1.4%), the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also retreating. Oil benchmarks jumped, pushing energy costs higher and stoking inflation concerns. The cramped jobs data showed 92,000 payrolls lost in February with the unemployment rate ticking up to 4.4%, while Treasuries sold off and the dollar firmed as investors reassessed the Fed’s policy path.
