U.S. stock index futures held relatively steady on Monday evening, following a strong regular trading session that saw major indexes climb sharply into the close. Investors largely brushed aside escalating geopolitical risks tied to the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, instead shifting their attention toward a critical week of corporate earnings — particularly from the banking sector.
S&P 500 futures edged up 0.1% to 6,928.25 points, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.2% to reach 25,600.75 points. Dow Jones futures remained largely flat at 48,434.0 points during after-hours trading.
During Monday's regular session, U.S. equity markets posted broad-based gains. The S&P 500 rose approximately 1.0%, the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.2%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.6%, fueled by a late-day surge in technology stocks. Notably, the S&P 500 climbed back to its highest point since the Iran war began, fully recovering losses tied to the conflict.
Despite the positive market momentum, geopolitical uncertainty remains a key concern. Weekend diplomatic talks aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war collapsed without resolution. President Donald Trump reaffirmed that the United States would not accept any agreement permitting Iran to develop nuclear weapons, while also confirming a U.S. naval blockade of Iranian ports. Iran responded with warnings of potential retaliatory strikes on Gulf nation ports, adding another layer of tension to an already volatile situation.
Oil prices briefly spiked on blockade news, raising fresh inflation concerns and putting pressure on corporate profit margins across multiple industries.
With markets demonstrating resilience, investors are now focused on earnings reports from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo, following a mixed performance from Goldman Sachs. Analysts and traders will be watching closely for guidance on loan growth, interest rate impacts, and overall financial health — factors that could shape market direction in the sessions ahead.
