U.S. stock futures slide, oil prices surge as new attacks threaten the cease-fire with Iran

U.S. stock-index futures declined following a massive tech selloff and new developments threatening the fragile cease-fire in the Iran war. Simultaneously, oil prices surged as missile strikes raised trader concerns about a return to all-out conflict in the Middle East. These events interrupted Wall Street’s two-month rally, as the instability surrounding Iran impacts both financial markets and energy costs, reflecting a volatile environment where geopolitical tensions directly influence global stock futures and oil pricing.
