US equity futures edge higher despite geopolitical tensions following a US military strike on Iran overnight.
Dow Jones futures climbed 0.53% to 50,900 in European trading hours ahead of the US market open on Tuesday. The move reflects cautious optimism despite heightened geopolitical risks after a US strike on Iran over the weekend.
The S&P 500 futures advanced 0.54% toward 7,550, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.73%. Markets had closed lower on Friday amid escalating Middle East tensions, but futures suggest a modest rebound as investors assess the latest developments.
