FX.co ★ US Futures Rise as Trump Extends Iran Negotiations

US stock futures rose on Friday, recouping part of the previous session’s losses after President Donald Trump extended by 10 days the deadline to carry out strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, amid ongoing negotiations with Tehran. Trump also said Iran had allowed 10 oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz this week as a “present” to the US. At the same time, Iran confirmed it had rejected Washington’s 15-point plan to end the war and had submitted its own demands, including recognition of Tehran’s authority over Hormuz. In regular trading on Thursday, the Dow fell 1.01%, the S&P 500 lost 1.74%, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.38%, with technology stocks leading the declines as Treasury yields climbed. A sharp rise in energy prices and persistent geopolitical tensions further stoked concerns about stagflation.
