Stock Index Futures Slip as Tech Selloff Continues, Iran in Focus

U.S. stock-index futures slipped as a tech-led selloff and Middle East diplomatic developments weighed on risk appetite. June S&P 500 e‑mini futures fell about 0.38% and June Nasdaq 100 e‑mini futures roughly 0.65% as chip and AI-related names led declines. Oil eased after President Trump said a planned strike on Iran was postponed to allow diplomacy, lifting hopes of de‑escalation but keeping markets cautious. Rising bond yields (10‑year at 4.62%) and oil staying above $100 a barrel pressured valuations, particularly for growth and tech stocks. Mixed global data and regional moves — including gains in some European indices and divergent Asian sessions — left sentiment uneven ahead of key earnings and economic releases. Overall tone: cautious/mixed with downside pressure on tech and risk assets while energy and rates remain important market drivers.
