    Dow Jones futures are reacting negatively to escalating geopolitical tensions, specifically the potential for U.S. ground troops in Iran, which is driving crude oil prices to a critical $100 level. This scenario signals significant market instability and could trigger a broader risk-off sentiment, impacting equities and safe-haven assets. Investors should monitor diplomatic developments and their direct implications for energy markets and corporate earnings.
