Dow Jones Futures Due, Oil Prices Eye $100 Amid Iran War; Nvidia GTC, Micron Earnings Ahead The stock market faces heightened volatility as oil prices approach $100 per barrel amid escalating tensions related to the Iran war. Dow Jones futures are set to open Sunday evening, alongside S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures, as investors brace for a week of critical events including the Federal Reserve’s upcoming meeting, Nvidia’s GTC conference, and Micron Technology’s quarterly earnings report. The market has been in a downward spiral for three consecutive weeks, with crude oil prices surging and geopolitical uncertainty dominating investor sentiment. The S&P 500 recently hit a 2026 low, reflecting broader concerns about inflation and economic slowdowns. Analysts suggest that the oil price surge, driven by fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East, is a key factor behind the market’s decline. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve’s meeting is expected to focus on balancing inflation control with economic growth, as policymakers grapple with rising energy costs and potential impacts on consumer spending. Nvidia’s GTC event is anticipated to highlight advancements in artificial intelligence, with the company likely showcasing new hardware and software solutions for data centers and cloud computing. This could bolster investor confidence in the tech sector, which has been a major driver of market gains in recent months. However, the event’s impact may be overshadowed by ongoing geopolitical risks, particularly as the Iran conflict continues to influence global energy markets. Micron Technology’s earnings report is also a focal point, with investors closely watching the company’s performance in the memory chip industry.#federal_reserve #sp_500 #dow_jones_futures #nasdaq_futures #nvidia_gtc
