S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow futures rise as traders anticipate a potential de-escalation in U.S.-Iran relations.
U.S. stock index futures edged higher Friday amid optimism over a possible breakthrough in U.S.-Iran tensions. S&P 500 futures gained 0.30% to 7,468.18, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.22% to 29,422.07. Dow futures also advanced, reflecting broader market sentiment.
The move follows a period of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, which had weighed on risk assets in recent sessions. Futures had previously fluctuated as investors monitored developments in the Middle East, with any signs of de-escalation typically supporting equities.
No immediate market reaction data was provided, but the uptick in futures suggests cautious optimism among traders ahead of the session.
