Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500 futures steady as Iran war keeps oil in focus; bitcoin jumps back to $74,000

U.S. stock index futures barely budged early Thursday, with the U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran dragging into its sixth day and keeping traders focused on oil and inflation risks. By 05:36 a.m. ET, Dow futures slipped 0.16%, S&P 500 futures edged down 0.01%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were essentially flat. Investors eyed upcoming weekly jobless claims data and awaited new comments from Fed Vice Chair Michelle Bowman. The tension is now playing out in the data that matter most to central bankers: inflation expectations and interest rate bets. Traders are pricing in roughly a 30.7% probability of at least a 25-basis-point rate cut in June, according to the CME FedWatch tool. That’s down sharply from last week’s 49.6%.

South Korea’s KOSPI jumps 10% as Iran war lifts oil toward $84 and rattles global markets

KOSPI surged close to 10% Thursday, lifted after President Lee Jae Myung moved to deploy a 100 trillion won market stabilisation fund. The step helped Asian equities recover some ground, despite oil prices staying high amid the Iran conflict. Energy’s back on top, and it’s moving markets. With oil and gas prices climbing, inflation expectations are getting pushed higher. Investors are now factoring in a smaller number of interest-rate cuts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Barclays, HSBC shares slide again as oil shock upends UK rate-cut bets

Barclays, HSBC shares slide again as oil shock upends UK rate-cut bets

Shares of Barclays and HSBC slid further in London on Tuesday, with UK bank stocks taking another hit as tensions in the Middle East escalated. By 10 a.m. GMT, both banks had dropped roughly 4.5%, according to The Banker. https://www.thebanker.com/content/2198d087-d798-47ed-a3c0-1a8586f8961f This drop is hitting just as the UK’s rate outlook remains in flux, with banks making up a big chunk of the FTSE 100. On Tuesday, Britain’s main stock indexes suffered their sharpest single-day slide in nearly a year. Energy prices jumped again, reigniting fears about inflation and forcing investors to dial back bets on interest rate cuts. David Rees, head of global economics at Schroders, flagged the risk: “if higher energy prices squeeze real incomes and prevent the Bank from cutting rates, hopes would be dashed for a growth pick-up.” https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/london-stocks-slide-inflation-worries-ahead-uk-budget-update-2026-03-03/

Oil prices spike past $84 as Iran war shuts Hormuz, rattles global stocks

Oil prices spike past $84 as Iran war shuts Hormuz, rattles global stocks

Oil climbed over 3% Wednesday, with Brent crude hitting $84.07 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate settling at $76.80. The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran hit Middle East supply lines hard, forcing tanker traffic to a halt at the Strait of Hormuz. “The primary near-term driver for oil prices remains the US-Iran conflict,” OANDA’s Kelvin Wong said. U.S. President Donald Trump suggested Navy escorts for commercial vessels, but that didn’t calm the market. Benchmark European gas prices surged over 50% on Monday, prompting the EU’s gas supply coordination group to schedule a meeting for Wednesday, according to a European Commission spokesperson. The front-month Dutch TTF contract, the region’s main gas benchmark, changed hands at 48.66 euros per megawatt hour. Officials will also bring together the bloc’s oil coordination group.
