<\/div>\n

Dow Futures opened the trading week on a cautious note on Monday as investors tread carefully amid rising geopolitical tensions.<\/p>\n

The fresh dip in the stock futures came after US President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iran on Sunday, a move which can widen the Israel-Iran conflict.<\/p>\n

The strikes on Iran mark a significant shift in the region\u2019s geopolitical landscape<\/a>, prompting traders to reassess risk across equities, commodities, and digital assets.<\/p>\n

Dow futures continue to trade in red<\/h2>\n

Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slipped by 34 points, or 0.08%, after starting the overnight session in the red. S&P 500 futures were down 0.06%, while Nasdaq-100 futures edged lower by 0.05%.<\/p>\n

With no significant economic data released immediately ahead and uncertainty lingering over potential further escalation, futures are likely to remain sensitive to any new headlines or shifts in sentiment.<\/p>\n

Oil prices, which had already spiked on fears of supply disruptions, surged further in response to the strikes before paring gains slightly as hopes for diplomatic engagement resurfaced.<\/p>\n

Brent and US crude oil futures rose about 3% last week, reaching their highest levels since January.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin tumbled below $99,000<\/h2>\n

The anxiety was not just limited to the stock market as the cryptocurrencies also witnessed a turbulent session with Bitcoin plunging to its lowest level in over a month.<\/p>\n

The flagship cryptocurrency has shed more than 2% in 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Ether dropped 5%, falling below $2,200, while other major tokens like Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin also suffered steep losses.<\/p>\n

Tech world displays resilience<\/h2>\n

Despite the broader market\u2019s volatility, big technology stocks continued to stand out for their resilience.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cMagnificent Seven, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta, mostly traded higher last week, with Apple leading the pack on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tesla’s robotaxi launch<\/a> stole the limelight after its launch in Austin, Texas on Sunday. The stock will be closely watched as the early riders share mixed reviews about Tesla\u2019s Full Self-Driving (FSD) software.<\/p>\n

On the corporate side, there was notable divergence. Accenture shares took a hit after the company missed Wall Street\u2019s booking estimates, disappointing investors.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Home Depot shares gained ground following reports of a potential acquisition, signaling optimism about the company\u2019s growth prospects.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the crypto and fintech space, Circle, the stablecoin issuer, saw its stock surge.<\/p>\n

This rally was fuelled by progress on the GENIUS Act in Congress, which also lifted shares of Coinbase and other crypto-related companies.<\/p>\n

The legislative momentum suggests growing institutional support for digital assets, adding another layer of excitement for investors in the sector.<\/p>\n

The GENIUS Act is a new piece of legislation gaining attention on Capitol Hill that aims to provide clearer regulations for the cryptocurrency industry.<\/p>\n

Its goal is to create a more transparent and secure framework for digital assets, helping to protect investors while encouraging innovation.<\/p>\n

Many in the crypto community see it as a positive step toward mainstream adoption and greater stability in the market.<\/p>\n
