Geopolitical Tensions Stifle US Equity Futures Pre-Bell
Jun 23, 2025 5:32 AM

08:08 AM EDT, 06/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were little changed pre-bell Monday as traders stayed on the sidelines after the US attacked three key Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures, S&P 500 futures, and Nasdaq futures were all down around 0.2%.

Investors are monitoring the potential military response from Iran following the weekend attack.

Oil prices were higher, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude up 0.6% at $77.45 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 0.6% higher at $74.26 per barrel.

The Composite Purchasing Managers' Index is scheduled for release at 9:45 am ET.

The existing home sales bulletin, slated for 10 am ET, is expected to show home resales at a 3.96 million annual rate for May versus 4 million previously, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
