  • US Stock Futures Steady Ahead of Trump's Iran War Address
    April 1, 2026, 7:10 PM EDT. US stock futures remained steady Wednesday night with minimal movement in Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 ahead of President Trump's national address on the Iran conflict. Investors are awaiting updates on the US-Israeli war efforts and the status of the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy shipping route. Brent crude oil prices have jumped roughly 40% since late February amid heightened tensions, though recent declines in crude futures have eased market concerns slightly. Trump indicated potential US troop withdrawals and a conditional ceasefire request from Iran via social media. Markets also anticipate key U.S. economic data this week, including weekly jobless claims and the March jobs report, amid expectations of slower growth and rising inflation due to ongoing energy disruptions.
