U.S. stock futures fell ahead of Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with declines in S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones Industrial Average futures.
Despite Monday’s gains in major indices, markets remain cautious as Trump warned of severe retaliation if Iran fails to comply, while negotiations toward a potential ceasefire continue, including a proposed 45-day truce.
Investor sentiment is still relatively optimistic, with expectations that the conflict will be short lived and markets will resume their bullish trend, supported in part by defense related fiscal spending. Meanwhile, investors are also watching upcoming U.S. durable goods data for further direction.
European stocks opened slightly higher. Markets showed mixed performance, with modest gains in the Stoxx 600, FTSE 100, and CAC 40, while the DAX declined.
Asian markets were volatile amid war related uncertainty, and investors are watching upcoming UK and Eurozone PMI data for signs of economic impact.
Oil prices surged amid the uncertainty, with West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude both rising sharply, reflecting concerns over supply disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz.
Gold prices are declining for the third consecutive day, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar and expectations of higher global interest rates. The uncertainty around Donald Trump’s deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is supporting the dollar while weighing on gold.
Rising oil prices are increasing inflation concerns, leading markets to expect a more hawkish stance from central banks, especially the Federal Reserve. Strong U.S. labor data and rising inflation indicators reinforce expectations of higher-for-longer interest rates.
