US Stock Futures Today Pre-Market: Nasdaq Leads As Big Tech Earnings Put AI Rally To The Test

Futures climb as oil drops after Iran deal; traders watching Fed meeting

Stocks futures rallied early Monday on news that Washington and Tehran struck a preliminary deal to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The route is vital for oil shipments. Dow E-minis traded up 480 points, or 0.94%, at 04:45 a.m. ET. S&P 500 E-minis added 95.75 points, or 1.29%. Nasdaq 100 E-minis rose 653.75 points, or 2.2%, per Reuters. MarketWatch reported Dow futures aimed for a roughly 500-point jump right after news broke of the tentative deal. Stocks moved higher after traders saw less geopolitical risk and oil prices tumbled. Brent crude was near $83 and U.S. crude traded around $80 in early moves, dropping over 4% after details of the deal, according to MarketWatch and Trading Economics. Lower oil often means reduced costs for fuel and freight, cooling inflation, and more stable consumer spending. Airline and cruise shares gained in premarket trading. United Airlines added 4.4%, Delta 4%, American Airlines 3.5%, Norwegian Cruise was up 4.3%, and Carnival rose 3.6%, Reuters reported.

Delta Shares Drop After Fuel Spike Jolts Airline Rally

Delta Shares Drop After Fuel Spike Jolts Airline Rally

Delta Air Lines slipped Wednesday. Shares dropped about 5.1% to $77.01 after opening at $79.31 and hitting a session low of $76.63. Investors sold out of airline stocks as oil prices jumped, bringing fuel costs back into focus for Delta, just a day after the stock had rallied close to its 52-week high. Delta’s rally from earlier this week didn’t last. On June 9, the stock jumped 3.78% to close at $81.17, putting it just 3.17% off its 52-week high at $83.83, MarketWatch said. But that run is now under pressure again as jet fuel prices, an old problem for airlines, have turned more volatile and costly.

Delta to Add Second Delta One Lounge at LAX with LA28 Approaching

Delta to Add Second Delta One Lounge at LAX with LA28 Approaching

Delta Air Lines is set to open the first phase of a second Delta One Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport this summer, ahead of the main Terminal 2 project timeline. The move will bring two Delta One Lounges to LAX before the larger upgrade finishes in 2028. Delta will launch daily nonstop flights from LAX to Hong Kong on June 6, and adds three daily flights to Chicago O’Hare starting June 7. The moves are aimed at building up Los Angeles as a bigger gateway for long-haul and domestic premium routes. The timing isn’t coincidental.

Dow Jones Falls as Bond Yields Signal Trouble for Bulls

Dow Jones Closes at Record as Oil Sinks; AI Stocks Pause

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a record high on Wednesday, rising 189.08 points, or 0.37%, to 50,650.76, as investors bought healthcare and consumer shares while the AI-led rally cooled. The S&P 500 edged up 0.02% and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.08%, leaving the broader market nearly flat after a run of record-setting gains. The split mattered because it showed money moving outside the biggest technology winners. The Dow is a price-weighted gauge of 30 U.S. blue-chip companies, meaning stocks with higher share prices carry more influence than companies with larger market value; on Wednesday, that structure helped the index benefit from gains in steadier consumer and healthcare names.

Berkshire Puts $2.65 Billion Into Delta Air Lines Shares

Berkshire Puts $2.65 Billion Into Delta Air Lines Shares

Berkshire Hathaway has taken a $2.65 billion stake in Delta Air Lines, according to Friday’s disclosure. The move puts the Atlanta-based airline back into Berkshire’s portfolio after the company unloaded airline stocks in the early days of the pandemic. The firm held 39.8 million Delta shares at the end of March, according to a U.S. regulatory filing. Large asset managers file a 13F every quarter to report their U.S.-traded stock holdings. The filing doesn’t include any trades after March 31.

Delta Flight to Lagos U-Turned Over the Atlantic. Eight Hours Later, Passengers Were Back in Atlanta

Delta Flight to Lagos U-Turned Over the Atlantic. Eight Hours Later, Passengers Were Back in Atlanta

Delta Air Lines Flight 54 spent almost eight hours in the air before it returned to Atlanta, leaving Lagos-bound passengers back where they started after the aircraft reversed course over the Atlantic and landed safely. This one’s making waves because the disruption struck the lengthy Atlanta-Lagos route, where quick turnarounds aren’t really an option. That journey usually clocks in at 11 hours and 15 minutes—so by the time the flight turned back, travelers had already burned nearly an entire workday up in the air, with nothing to show for it.

Delta’s Leaked A321neo With 44 First Class Seats Is About To Fly — But It Was Plan B

Delta’s Leaked A321neo With 44 First Class Seats Is About To Fly — But It Was Plan B

Delta Air Lines is rolling out an Airbus A321neo packed with premium seating later this month, packing in 11 rows of domestic first-class recliners—far more than usual for the type. A leaked photo revealed the cabin’s 44 Delta First seats, deviating sharply from Delta’s typical A321neo setup, which doesn't come close to that count. The jet was initially designed for flatbed business-class suites. It's a timely shift for Delta—the carrier has fresh jets waiting on the ground, seat certification is lagging, and summer demand is about to spike on lucrative cross-country routes. For now, seven A321neos will run with the bigger First cabin before those flatbed suites come online, the airline said.

United Airlines CEO Sidesteps American Airlines Merger Talk as Trump Opposes Deal, Signals Support for Spirit

United Airlines CEO Sidesteps American Airlines Merger Talk as Trump Opposes Deal, Signals Support for Spirit

Pressed on Wednesday about any interest in acquiring American Airlines, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby deflected, sticking to his vision of building “a truly global airline that all US citizens can be proud of.” His comment did nothing to douse speculation over a potential merger, one day after President Donald Trump publicly criticized the notion of United joining forces with American. Timing is key here, with the Iran-linked jet-fuel spike putting real pressure on margins and reviving doubts over which airlines can sustain their own growth. United trimmed its 2026 outlook on Tuesday; Delta has already scaled back expansion plans. Alaska Air dropped its full-year guidance altogether. Even if a ceasefire sticks, it could take “a few months” for jet-fuel supply and logistics to stabilize, according to Atmosphere Research Group’s Henry Harteveldt.

Delta Air Lines Stock Takes Off on Strong Earnings and Upbeat Outlook

Delta Flight Attendant’s $70,000 Slide Blunder Leaves Passengers Stranded

Passengers aboard Delta Connection flight 3248 at Pittsburgh International Airport got a shock before takeoff when the plane’s forward evacuation slide suddenly burst out of the front door. The Airbus A220 was parked at gate D2, preparing for an on-time 5:30 p.m. departure to Salt Lake City, when the emergency slide unexpectedly deployed onto the jet bridge areaviewfromthewing.comviewfromthewing.com. Crew members had just finished the standard pre-departure drill of arming the doors – a safety step that engages each door’s escape slide for automatic inflation if opened in an emergencyviewfromthewing.com. According to reports, a senior flight attendant at the 1L door made a split-second mistake that set off the slide. Immediately after the captain’s command to “arm doors for departure,” this lead attendant apparently tried to double-check or adjust the door and raised the door handle while the door was still armedviewfromthewing.com. In a properly armed door, even a slight lift of the handle triggers the emergency power-assist mechanism – the door springs open and the inflatable slide erupts out in secondspaddleyourownkanoo.compaddleyourownkanoo.com. That is exactly what happened: the slide blasted out and fully inflated, wedging itself between the aircraft and the jetbridge. There was no stopping it once it began –
