Summary

  • Nasdaq 100 futures reversed earlier losses and rose as much as 0.6% after US military officials said strikes on multiple targets in Iran had been completed.
  • MSCI’s Asian equities gauge still fell 0.7% as American forces hit Iran for a second straight day, extending a risk-off mood across regional markets.
  • Oil climbed while broader stocks dropped, with the geopolitical flare-up adding pressure to markets already unsettled by a selloff in richly valued tech shares.
  • The rebound in US tech futures suggested sentiment stabilized after a weak Asian open, though trading remained tied to Middle East developments.
