  • S&P 500, Dow Futures Dip Amid Iran's First Missile Attack on Israel Since April
    June 8, 2026, 9:24 AM EDT. S&P 500 and Dow Jones futures dipped as Iran launched its first missile attack on Israel since April, escalating geopolitical tensions. The attack threatens fragile ceasefire efforts between Tehran and Washington. Meanwhile, President Trump reportedly urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to avoid retaliation, aiming to preserve ongoing Iran nuclear deal talks. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite suffered its steepest drop in 14 months, losing over 1,000 points last Friday, closing 4.18% lower. Oil futures rose amid Middle East tensions, adding pressure to global markets. ETFs tracking major indexes showed mixed moves: SPDR S&P 500 ETF and Invesco QQQ Trust edged higher, Dow Jones ETF traded lower, and long-term Treasury bond ETF fell slightly.
