Geopolitical risks overshadow early trading as Dow Jones futures slip while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures edge higher.
Dow Jones futures fell 0.33% to 50,750 in European trading Monday, pressured by renewed Middle East tensions ahead of the US market open. The decline contrasts with modest gains in S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures, which rose 0.10% and 0.35% to 7,410 and 29,130, respectively.
The move follows a cautious start to the week as investors assess geopolitical risks amid thin pre-market liquidity. Futures had shown mixed direction earlier, with tech-heavy indices outperforming the broader market.
No immediate market reaction was reported beyond the futures movement, though sentiment remains sensitive to developments in the Middle East.
