US Equity Futures Climb Pre-Bell Despite Renewed US-Iran Clashes
Jun 1, 2026 5:12 AM

07:53 AM EDT, 06/01/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were higher pre-bell Monday despite the shaky Middle East ceasefire being tested once again by a new exchange of attacks, even as President Donald Trump stated that Iran wants to come to an agreement.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.6% higher, S&P 500 futures were up 0.3%, and Nasdaq futures were 0.2% higher.

The US said that it struck radar and drone sites in Iran after an American drone was shot down over the weekend. Iran then said it launched its own strike, while Kuwait reported that it intercepted incoming drone and missile fire.

"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the U.S.A. and those that are with us," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. He has not yet decided on whether to move forward on an agreement to extend the ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

Among the companies reporting financial results this week are Palo Alto Networks ( PANW ) , Broadcom ( AVGO ) , and CrowdStrike ( CRWD ) .

Oil prices were higher, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude up 2.8% at $93.71 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 3.5% higher at $90.39 per barrel.

The final S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers index for May, due at 9:45 am ET, is seen coming in at 55.3, unchanged from its prior value, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

The May Institute for Supply Management's services index, due at 10 am ET, is projected at 53.0, versus 52.7 previously. The April construction spending report is also due at 10 am ET.
