US stock market futures opened for the first time since the outbreak of the war between the US/Israel and Iran, showing notable declines across major indices: the S&P 500 and Dow 30 both fell by 1.0%, while the Nasdaq 100 dropped by 1.3%. In contrast, oil prices surged nearly 12% to $75 per barrel, driven by fears of supply disruptions in the oil-rich region, and gold prices increased by 2.5% as investors sought safe-haven assets amidst heightened geopolitical tensions. This trading session comes as investors reassess risks following a significant escalation in Middle East conflicts.
