US stock futures settled at the beginning of the week's trading, as investors deal with several issues, including Iranian strikes on Israel, rising oil prices and increased stock market volatility that sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its worst week since the beginning of the year.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose just 36 points while S&P 500 futures rose 0.1% while Nasdaq-100 futures were almost unchanged.
Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel on the evening of Saturday, April 13, in the first direct attack on Israel from Iranian territory. While most of the threats have been intercepted, fears of retaliation remain.
US stocks fell at the end of the trading session on Friday, April 12, as inflation and geopolitical concerns once again affected investor sentiment on Wall Street, and the significant decline in major bank stocks also affected the market.
