Dow Jones futures climbed 0.54% on Monday, trading around 52,920 during European hours. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also rose, reaching near 7,550 and 28,590, respectively. The upward trend was attributed to falling oil prices and potential diplomatic progress between the US and Iran. President Trump announced a pause on planned military strikes, which led to a shift in investor sentiment.
However, Iranian officials quickly denied these claims and reiterated their military readiness, raising geopolitical uncertainty. Investors are now awaiting corporate earnings reports and labor market data, including Friday's US jobs report. Analysts at Deutsche Bank noted solid gains in US equities, but highlighted volatility in the AI trade.
Major companies like Berkshire Hathaway, Eli Lilly, and Walt Disney are set to report this week. Financial markets remained cautious, awaiting further developments.
