Stock Market Futures Rise as Oil Prices Drop Ahead of Fed Decision
U.S. stock futures rose on Monday morning, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq-100 all gaining ground amid a drop in oil prices. The decline in crude came after renewed optimism about peace talks between the U.S. and Iran following two weeks of attacks. Oil prices fell as much as 6%, easing concerns over inflationary pressures ahead of the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Wednesday. The Fed is expected to keep rates steady but has not ruled out a hike, making this one of its least predictable decisions in years. Investors are also closely watching upcoming earnings reports from major companies like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet, with particular focus on capital expenditure guidance and AI monetization trends. The week's busy financial calendar includes reports from AstraZeneca, Nucor Corporation, SK Hynix, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Procter & Gamble, Arm Holdings, ExxonMobil, and Chevron.
