Stock Futures Jump on Iran Hope, AI Rally, and Falling Oil Prices

Stocks were heading for a positive open to start the week as futures jumped in the wake of falling oil prices, an AI rally in Asia, and positive talks between the U. S. and China. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were jumping around 400 points in premarket trading, up 0. 8%.

Sentiment was helped by oil prices, which dropped in early trading as concerns eased over disruptions to Saudi pipeline flows and hopes grew for diplomatic talks between U. S. President Donald Trump and Gulf leaders on the sidelines of the U. N. General Assembly in New York this week.
