Dow Jones futures surged and oil prices plummeted following reports of a potential de-escalation in US-Iran tensions.

Traders should closely monitor official statements from both governments and oil production figures to gauge sustainability of this trend. Volatility remains a key factor, with any renewed tensions likely to reverse gains rapidly.
