U.S. stock futures rose Tuesday night after Donald Trump said he would extend the Iran ceasefire indefinitely, easing fears of near-term escalation in the Middle East.
S&P 500 futures gained 0.5% to 7,135.75, Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.6% to 26,802.75, and Dow futures added 0.5% to 49,575, rebounding after a weaker session where major indexes fell ~0.6% on uncertainty סביב the truce.
The extension, announced hours before the deadline, allows more time for U.S.-Iran talks. While it reduced immediate risks, uncertainty around Iran’s response kept sentiment cautious. Oil stayed near recent highs on supply concerns around the Strait of Hormuz, sustaining inflation worries.
March retail sales rose 1.7% MoM, the strongest in a year, showing resilient consumer spending.
