U.S. stock index futures retreated in the overnight session Monday, with S&P 500 futures falling 0.20%, Dow futures down 0.15%, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropping 0.25%, as the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt strikes against each other with negotiations reportedly scheduled for Tuesday in Doha, Qatar. President Donald Trump confirmed the meeting on Truth Social, though media reports alleged Iran has denied the claims, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stating no talks were scheduled.
The futures decline came after U.S. stock markets closed higher Monday, with the S&P 500 up 1.18%, the Nasdaq Composite gaining 2.07%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 0.59% to close above 52,000 for the first time. Technology stocks led the rebound following a sharp selloff last week.
