Dow futures fall as oil nears $100, Iran war fuels inflation fears
US stock index futures moved lower on Thursday as a renewed surge in oil prices heightened inflation concerns and forced investors to reassess expectations for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The decline in futures came after reports of further attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East, which raised fears of escalating supply disruptions and prolonged geopolitical instability in the region.
