US stock futures traded mixed Monday as investors assessed progress in US-Iran peace talks in Switzerland. Mediators described negotiations as making “encouraging progress,” with both sides agreeing to a 60-day roadmap toward a final treaty.
The talks established direct communication lines to ensure stability in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil transit route. Prior discussions had stalled for months amid escalating tensions, raising concerns over energy market disruptions.
No immediate market reaction was reported, though geopolitical risks remain a key focus for traders monitoring oil prices and regional stability.
