Trump Weighs Potential Iran Action as US Equity Futures Waver Pre-Bell
Jun 20, 2025 5:29 AM

08:10 AM EDT, 06/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were little changed pre-bell Friday as traders monitored a potential direct US involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were up 0.1%, S&P 500 futures were 0.2% higher, and Nasdaq futures were up 0.2%.

President Donald Trump will decide on a potential military action against Iran within the next two weeks, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing Thursday.

Oil prices were lower, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude down 3.1% at $76.42 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 0.2% lower at $73.32 per barrel.

The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, scheduled for release at 8:30 am ET, is expected to improve to minus 1.7 in June from minus 4.0 in May, according to estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
