| Business - Latest - Google News | STOCK FUTURES CLIMB AS INVESTORS WEIGH IRAN, HORMUZ DEAL PROSPECTS: LIVE UPDATES - CNBC | 6 hrs ago |
On August 10 2026, U.S. stock futures climbed as investors weighed the prospects of a new Iran‑Hormuz deal, even though the major indices were poised to open lower.
Oil prices had jumped 5% earlier that morning, prompting the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq to slip. Tech shares, notably Nvidia, fell under pressure, contributing to a broader market dip. CNBC’s live update noted the futures rise amid speculation about the deal, while Yahoo Finance reported the slide from record highs.
The reaction reflects the market’s sensitivity to geopolitical events that could affect the Hormuz Strait, a critical oil chokepoint, and the associated impact on oil supply and prices.
