Falling oil prices lift US equity futures after diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran eases supply concerns.
Dow Jones futures climbed 0.54% to 52,920 in European trading on Monday, supported by a decline in oil prices following diplomatic signals between the US and Iran. S&P 500 futures rose 0.49% to 7,550, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.64%.
The move follows a weekend of indirect talks aimed at de-escalating tensions, which raised expectations of potential oil supply increases. Futures had closed lower on Friday amid mixed economic data and geopolitical uncertainty.
No immediate market reaction was reported beyond the futures gains, though equities were positioned for a cautious open.
