Stock futures rose Tuesday night following a news report that the U.S. has given Iran a plan that could bring the conflict to an end. <\/p>\n
S&P 500 futures<\/a> and Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> advanced 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> gained 318 points, or 0.7%.<\/p>\n During the day’s regular session, all three major averages posted losses. The S&P 500<\/a> slipped 0.37%, while the Nasdaq Composite<\/a> lost 0.84%. The blue-chip Dow<\/a> fell 84.41 points, or 0.18%.<\/p>\n The moves came after President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that the U.S. is “in negotiations right now<\/a>” with Iran. He added that Tehran is “talking sense” and suggested it is eager to make a peace deal.<\/p>\n The New York Times reported<\/a> Tuesday afternoon that the U.S. is said to have sent Iran a peace plan to end the war, citing two unnamed officials. The 15-point plan was delivered by way of Pakistan, the outlet said.<\/p>\n Stocks gave back some of their gains from Monday, which saw all three averages soaring more than 1% after Trump wrote in a Truth Social post<\/a> that the U.S. and Iran have held “very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.” However, Iranian state media denied reports of these direct talks between the two nations.<\/p>\n Oil prices resumed rising on Tuesday after falling the day before<\/a>. Michael Kantrowitz, chief investment strategist at Piper Sandler, pointed to the commodity as the primary market driver in recent days.<\/p>\n “We continue to see this as just an oil-driven, one-variable market,” he said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell: Overtime<\/a>” Tuesday afternoon. “Oil and interest rates are driving the equity market. And for now, I think markets are priced appropriately for where conditions are, and we’ll continue to move and react as conditions evolve.”<\/p>\n He added: “I’m less concerned about the economy. I think the U.S. economy can certainly handle $90, $100 oil. I’m a little more concerned about interest rates and the fear of persistent inflation weighing on equity multiples.”<\/p>\n Chewy<\/a> and Paychex<\/a> are set to report earnings Wednesday before the bell. Traders will also watch out for February’s readings on the export and import price indexes.<\/p>\n \u2014 CNBC’s Kevin Breuninger contributed reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at the opening bell in New…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":679583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2],"tags":[285370,269155,266351,285641,133,81,37911,37912,69,91320,144,51,83,64216,135,91322,143,50,285934,91321,145,134,16285,52,67,259090],"class_list":["post-679582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-es26m","tag-lco26k","tag-lco26q","tag-nq26m","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business-news","tag-chevron-corp","tag-conocophillips","tag-donald-trump","tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-lp","tag-markets","tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","tag-nasdaq-composite","tag-news","tag-piper-jaffray-companies","tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","tag-sp-500-index","tag-stock-markets","tag-suppress-zephr","tag-top-stories","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-oil-fund"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=679582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
