Futures edge up as Dow endures weak week amid Mideast tensions

U.S. stock futures edged higher Sunday night after the Dow posted a third straight weekly loss, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures up modestly. The backdrop includes renewed Middle East tensions after Iran‑backed attacks, a US travel advisory, and a Fed rate hike last week. Oil sits near $100 a barrel and the 10‑year Treasury yield hovers near 5%, shaping eyes on a US–China summit later this week covering tariffs, critical minerals, and AI. Asia-Pacific markets opened mixed as traders digest the news.

Oil supplies under siege as tanker attacks spread from Red Sea to Black Sea

Oil markets are under multi-front pressure as Iran- and Houthi-led attacks threaten shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, while Ukraine targets Russia-linked vessels in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. Brent crude has surged above $100 per barrel as chokepoints threaten flows, with Kazakhstan’s Caspian Pipeline Consortium halting at Novorossiysk and creating added risk of supply outages; while pipeline rerouting is technically possible, it’s logistically complex and slow, potentially widening the gap between supply and demand.
