Dow futures gained 0.59%, S&amp;P 500 futures rose 0.72%, and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 1.16%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asian markets were mixed, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 slipping slightly, while the Topix, South Korea\u2019s Kospi, Australia\u2019s ASX 200, Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng, and China\u2019s CSI 300 all posted gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brent crude futures fell more than 4% to around $92 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude declined to roughly $84 a barrel after Iran reportedly agreed to suspend attacks as long as the U.S. refrains from further strikes. Reuters said the pause followed concerns within the Trump administration over limited military targets and declining weapons stockpiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite easing geopolitical tensions, investors remain cautious after another weak week for U.S. equities. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq recorded back-to-back weekly losses, while the Dow posted its third consecutive weekly decline, weighed down by chip stocks and conflict-related uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets now turn their focus to earnings from Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft, with investors closely watching AI spending trends. The Federal Reserve\u2019s policy decision on Wednesday will also be closely monitored, as traders weigh the possibility of an earlier-than-expected interest rate hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Upcoming Events:<br \/><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>12:30PM GMT &#8211; USD Durable Goods Orders m\/m<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Risk Warning:<\/strong>&nbsp;Trading in securities involves significant risk.
