S&P 500 Futures Rally 100 Points, Tech Sector Leads
S&P 500 futures staged a rip-roaring 100 point rally in the final hour of Monday's trading above 6,815 following CBS News headlines relating that President Trump deems the Iran war to be largely over, with Tech - particularly Semis and Hardware - ending the day as the best sector in the index. Speaking to reporters this evening however, Trump has seemingly walked back the rhetoric interpreted as de-escalation with remarks that while he expects the war to be over soon, this will not happen this week. In the opening hour of the evening session, the S&P 500 contract is down 0.3%, back below 6,800 mark, with Nasdaq 100 futures also falling back by 0.3% below the 25,000 level.The headline-roulette volatility was similarly apparent in the energy market, as WTI Crude Oil futures had fallen all the way down to $81 per barrel on the initial reports of Trump comments on Iran. The evening session is seeing the contract trade north of $88.On Tuesday, traders will still tune in to CPI data, albeit the February release has been made less relevant by the stagflationary threat brought on by the Middle East escalation and oil markets shock uncorked last weekend.Check out this evening's top movers from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly.HIGHER AFTER EARNINGS -HP Enterpriseup 1.1%ALSO HIGHER -Joby Aviationup 3.1% after announcement company will begin U.S. Operations in 2026 under White House Air Taxi ProgramDOWN AFTER EARNINGS -FreightCar Americadown 19.6%Myomodown 11.3%Yalla Groupdown 9.0%Yextdown 4.1%Casey's General Storesdown 2.2%Vail Resortsdown 1.2%ALSO LOWER -Diversified Energy Companydown 2.1% after equity offering
