  • U.S. and Iran Agree Ceasefire, Easing Stock Futures Amid Gulf Tensions
    June 28, 2026, 9:24 PM EDT. Stock futures gained as the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt attacks and plan talks in Qatar, reducing fears of escalating conflict in the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping chokepoint. Dow Jones futures rose 128 points, S&P 500 gained 0.38%, and Nasdaq futures added 0.35%. Despite improved sentiment, oil prices edged higher with U.S. crude at $69.46 per barrel, reflecting ongoing regional risk. Iran's creation of a Persian Gulf Strait Authority and demands for control over maritime traffic heighten tensions, while the U.S. Navy secures alternate routes for Gulf shipping. President Trump issued warnings but showed reluctance for full-scale conflict. Market relief follows fears of a wider Gulf escalation that could disrupt global trade and energy supplies.
