Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 futures climb as optimism over US-Iran talks and easing crude supply concerns lift sentiment.
Dow Jones futures rose 0.26% to above 50,500 in European trading hours, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.28% toward 7,500 and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.34% near 29,550. The moves follow a second consecutive day of gains on Wall Street, driven by improving market sentiment.
On Thursday, the Dow Jones climbed 0.55%, the S&P 500 added 0.17%, and the Nasdaq 100 edged up 0.09%. Lower crude oil prices and optimism over potential US-Iran negotiations contributed to the rally, though Iranian officials clarified no deal has been finalized.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted encouraging signs in talks, while President Donald Trump is set to swear in Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve chair. Warsh’s dovish stance contrasts with other Fed governors considering rate hikes to counter inflation risks tied to geopolitical tensions.
