  • Stock Futures Rise as S&P 500 Nears Fourth Weekly Loss Amid Oil Price Surge
    March 19, 2026, 6:25 PM EDT. Stock futures edged higher on Thursday evening, with Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 futures both gaining 0.2%, following comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that eased U.S.-Iran war anxieties. Netanyahu noted Iran's diminished capacity to enrich uranium and produce ballistic missiles, suggesting the conflict may shorten. Despite the uptick, the S&P 500 is set for a fourth straight weekly decline and has fallen below its 200-day moving average, a critical technical support level. The Dow and Nasdaq approach correction territory, down 8.3% and nearly 8% from recent highs, respectively. Analysts warn that markets may be overly optimistic about the war's economic impact as oil prices remain elevated, with West Texas Intermediate futures up over 48% this month.
