Full Details
Dow Jones futures fell earlier in the session after President Trump announced talks with Iran, but the optimism was short-lived when Iran said it had 'no plans' for new talks. This geopolitical tension briefly pressured energy stocks and created market volatility. However, later in the day, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz helped lift the Dow and sparked gains in energy and technology shares. The market reaction highlights how U.S.-Iran relations continue to impact investor sentiment and stock performance. Investors are also looking ahead to Tesla's earnings report, adding to the day's market focus.
