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.

US stock futures edge lower as Pakistan talks loom over Iran ceasefire

U.S. stock futures slipped Thursday as traders awaited a two‑week Iran ceasefire and peace talks in Pakistan, with S&P 500 futures down about 0.3% and Dow/Nasdaq futures also lower after Wall Street’s rally the prior session. Tehran accused the U.S. and Israel of violating the peace proposal while Lebanon’s role remained contentious, and Iranian negotiators head to Islamabad for talks as Trump said U.S. forces would stay in the region until a real agreement is reached. Oil prices rebounded on the news and investors weighed hawkish Fed minutes as they positioned for the next move.

Stocks surge on Iran ceasefire news as investors await inflation data

U.S. stock futures were mostly flat after a relief rally sparked by news that Trump would suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks; the S&P 500 rose about 2.5%, Nasdaq ~2.8%, and the Dow gained over 1,300 points for its best day since April 2025. The ceasefire news faced questions of violations, and investors await the PCE price index and weekly jobless claims. Dow Transports hit record highs, energy stocks fell, and Constellation Brands dropped after weaker earnings guidance.

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.

Oil-fueled market bounce as Iran peace-talk hopes surface

Futures rose after reports the U.S. sent Iran a peace plan to end the war, but the regular session finished with the major indices lower (S&P 500 -0.37%, Nasdaq -0.84%, Dow -0.18%). Trump said talks with Iran are ongoing and The New York Times reported a 15-point peace plan delivered via Pakistan, though Iran denied direct talks.

Chewy and Paychex are due to report earnings before the bell, while seven of 11 GICS sectors rose and energy led gains; after-hours moves included KB Home, GameStop, and Braze. Stock futures opened higher again Tuesday night, with Dow futures up ~317 points and S&P/Nasdaq futures higher as well.
