US Futures Rebound Sharply

2026-03-31 11:41 By Andre Joaquim 1 min. read

US equity futures were sharply higher on Tuesday after dropping to seven-month lows in the previous session amid more support from lower benchmark credit costs.

Contracts for the three main averages gained over 1%.

Treasuries extended their respite across the curve to reflect higher caution over growth concerns stemming from the surge in energy prices.

The resulting pullback in yields aided equities from all sectors despite the continued increase in oil and product prices.

President Trump noted that the US is closer to striking a deal with Iran, but markets held their skepticism over restored tanker flows through the Persian Gulf.

Chip stocks were sharply higher pre-market after leading the selloff this week, sustaining pressure since new research drove bets that compute-efficient AI models dent additional demand for processors and data-center capacity.

Nvidia, Meta, and Microsoft were 1.5% higher pre-market.

Also, Eli Lilly gained over 1% after acquiring Centessa for $7.8 billion.

US Futures Jump on Trump Report
US stock futures jumped nearly 1% on Tuesday after reports that President Donald Trump told aides he is willing to end the US military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed, potentially strengthening Tehran’s control over the strategic waterway. Investors also continued to digest dovish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who said long-term US inflation expectations remain anchored despite heightened Middle East uncertainties and noted that the central bank’s policy stance allows officials to assess the economic impact of the Iran war. In regular trading on Monday, the Dow rose 0.11%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite declined 0.39% and 0.73%, respectively. The S&P 500 is nearing correction territory, down 9.4% from its January peak, with the Dow and Nasdaq Composite off 10.5% and 13.4% from their highs. Investors now await March’s consumer confidence index and February’s JOLTS job openings data.
