U.S. stock futures slipped night after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit fresh record highs, as geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Iran persisted despite President Donald Trump extending the ceasefire.
S&P 500 futures fell 0.3% to 7,153.25, Nasdaq 100 futures dipped 0.1% to 27,045.0, and Dow Jones futures dropped 0.5% to 49,436.0.
In the prior session, the S&P 500 gained 1.1% to a record close above 7,130, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.6%—led by tech stocks—and the Dow rose 0.7%, supported by optimism over the ceasefire extension.
However, sentiment turned cautious after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard seized two container ships and fired on another near the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting ongoing risks and the fragility of the truce. Oil prices surged above
$100 per barrel following the incident.
