U.S. Futures Pauses Near Record Highs as Investors Weigh Iran Peace Prospects and Trump’s Fresh Threats - Tekedia

U.S. stock futures were mostly flat after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit record highs.

Markets are balancing hopes for an Iran-U.S. deal against Trump’s warning that strikes could resume if talks fail.

The rally has been supported by easing war fears, lower oil prices, and strong earnings.

Investors remain alert because any breakdown in talks could quickly lift oil prices and pressure risk sentiment.
