US stock futures rise as oil prices ease and UnitedHealth jumps after earnings, despite Iran ceasefire tensions, Apple dips on Tim Cooks exit and focus shifts to Fed policy hearing
US Stock Market Live Updates: US stock futures edged higher Tuesday morning, attempting a rebound after the Nasdaq Composite snapped its longest winning streak in decades, as investors tracked a fragile pause in the Iran conflict and weighed in on earnings results.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 250 points , while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts rose 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively, helped by easing oil prices and a sharp post-earnings surge in UnitedHealth.
The uptick comes even as geopolitical risks linger. Donald Trump said US negotiators are preparing for fresh talks, even as he accused Iran of violating the ceasefire ahead of its Wednesday expiry, keeping markets on edge despite tentative signs of de-escalation.
Back home, Wall Street is also digesting Tim Cook’s impending exit, with Apple shares slipping in premarket trade, while attention turns to Kevin Warsh’s Senate hearing that could shape the next phase of the Fed’s policy path.
