Early declines in Dow futures contrast with rising crude oil prices after Trump rejects Iran’s latest diplomatic proposal.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures edged lower in early trading Monday, while crude oil prices rose after President Donald Trump dismissed Iran’s latest peace offer as unacceptable. The move added to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, supporting energy markets.
Prior to the session, futures had shown modest gains, with investors eyeing earnings reports and economic data later in the week. Oil prices had stabilized near recent highs amid ongoing supply concerns and diplomatic uncertainty.
Shares of Intel, Lumentum Holdings, and Moderna advanced in premarket trading, while Circle Internet Group and other companies reported earnings ahead of the opening bell.
