Stock futures slipped Sunday night after Iran reportedly fired missiles at Israel, jeopardizing a fragile ceasefire and heightening uncertainty following last week's sharp Nasdaq selloff.
Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 80 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each lost 0.2% as well. ... Asia-Pacific markets opened lower Monday, with South Korean equities leading losses as the benchmark Kospi falling 8.4%. Japan's Nikkei 225 dropped 3.4%.
The reported strike by Iran raised fresh concerns about the stability of the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. The reported missile attack followed a post on X by Iranian Parliament Speaker MB Ghalibaf, who argued that the U.S. naval blockade and alleged breaches of agreements related to Lebanon constitute violations of the ceasefire.
On Friday, the Nasdaq Composite fell 4.18% to 25,709.43 — its biggest drop since April 2025. The S&P 500 sank 2.64% to close at 7,383.74, and the Dow lost 695 points to end the week at 50,866.78, a day after hitting a new high. For the week, the S&P 500 dropped more than 2%, the Nasdaq fell 4.7%, and the Dow edged lower.
