Global markets show mixed signals as geopolitical tensions reshape investor sentiment. Trump administration signals Iran conflict nearing completion, initially lifting Asian stocks and weakening the dollar. However, subsequent rhetoric about intensified strikes over coming weeks reversed gains, sending futures lower. U.S. stock futures fell 0.67% while Asian markets retreated, with Japan's Nikkei down 0.79%. Oil prices surged over 3% as investors focus on Strait of Hormuz reopening and supply chain impacts. Brent crude rose to $104.75 per barrel. The dollar strengthened against major currencies including a 0.25% euro decline. Tech stocks led U.S. gainers with semiconductor companies rising sharply, while Nike fell 15.51% among top losers. Energy supply concerns and inflation worries continue driving volatility across global markets.
