  • Nasdaq 100 Futures Jump 1% on Middle East De-escalation Hopes
    April 6, 2026, 5:45 PM EDT. Nasdaq 100 futures rose about 1% amid hopes of reduced U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict. Former President Donald Trump signaled openness to withdrawal before the Strait of Hormuz blockade ends. Senator Marco Rubio's updated objectives focus on disabling Iran's missile and naval capabilities rather than reopening the Strait. Uncertainty remains if this signals real de-escalation or a strategic ploy. Chart patterns suggest a possible V-shaped rebound towards 24,000, but elevated volatility and ongoing military operations by Israel keep markets cautious. Continued conflict could test bullish momentum on Wall Street.
