07:58 AM EDT, 07/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- US equity futures were mixed pre-bell Friday as traders took note of the US market debut of South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix, while the US and Iran will continue peace talks even after an exchange of attacks in recent days.

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were 0.1% higher, S&P 500 futures were down 0.1%, and Nasdaq futures were 0.4% lower.

SK Hynix's initial public offering, which consists of 177.9 million American depositary shares, raised about $26.5 billion. The sale by the South Korean semiconductor company ranks as the largest debut by a foreign firm in the US. The offer was seven times oversubscribed, with more than 500 investment firms looking to buy shares, according to a report from the Financial Times.

The US will continue "technical talks" with Iran as part of peace negotiations, despite the military strikes between the two nations earlier this week, according to a report from MS Now citing a US official. President Donald Trump said that Iran's attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz were "acts of terrorism," according to the report. Trump told reporters on Thursday that Iran had reached out and wanted to make a deal to cease the escalating hostilities in the Middle East.

Traders noted the latest round of earnings, with Delta Air Lines ( DAL ) posting lower adjusted earnings and higher revenue for Q2 while reaffirming its 2026 adjusted EPS guidance.

Oil prices were higher, with front-month global benchmark North Sea Brent crude up 0.8% at $76.91 per barrel and US West Texas Intermediate crude 0.6% higher at $72.51 per barrel.

The weekly Baker Hughes domestic oil-and-gas rig count is scheduled for release at 1pm ET.
