US stock futures were mixed Monday as renewed Middle East tensions over the Strait of Hormuz and conflicting reports about shipping closures spurred a risk-off tone ahead of a busy Q2 earnings season led by JPMorgan, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Citigroup; S&P 500 futures slipped about 0.25%, Nasdaq-100 about 0.9% lower, while Dow futures edged up around 0.1%; oil prices climbed on supply concerns, and tech equities faced a rough start with a chip rout ahead of ASML and TSMC results.

Wall Street futures drift higher after solid weekly gains ahead of Fed minutes

U.S. stock indexes’ futures edged higher on Monday after a holiday week, with S&P 500 futures up about 0.4% and Nasdaq-100 futures up roughly 1%, while Dow futures were little changed. Last week’s gains—Dow around 2%, S&P 500 about 1.8%, Nasdaq around 2.1%—came as softer June payroll data eased near-term rate-hike fears, even as AI-name valuations continue to attract scrutiny. Traders are awaiting the Fed’s June meeting minutes on Wednesday and monitoring early second-quarter earnings from Levi Strauss, PepsiCo and Delta Air Lines, while oil prices drift lower following another OPEC+ output boost.

The Independent reports that President Trump bought between $100,001 and $250,000 in Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Nvidia on April 8, 2025—one day before he paused tariffs for 90 days and sent stock indices higher—raising fresh questions about potential conflicts of interest, as Democrats accuse him of profiting from the presidency while the White House defends that assets are managed by independent funds.

AI stock rally prompts profit-taking and whispers of oversupply risk

Investors pulled back from AI-driven tech stocks after a sharp rally, with Sandisk and Marvell among notable decliners and tech-focused ETFs slipping. Analysts say the move could be a mix of profit-taking and concerns that rapid AI infrastructure spending may lead to oversupply and weaker pricing, potentially weighing on returns even as AI demand remains robust in regions like Asia.

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.
