Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Nasdaq futures showed signs of a strong rebound despite recent military threats. According to reports, Donald Trump warned that the United States would conduct hard strikes on Iran, including taking control of Kharg Island and critical oil infrastructure. Trump aims to assume total control of Iranian oil and gas markets, citing a strategy similar to the approach previously taken with Venezuela.
Historically, such threats exert downward pressure on the tech sector while boosting energy stocks; crude oil prices have surged by over 3% during similar geopolitical escalations per market data. In comparison to peers, traders are closely watching Chevron and ExxonMobil as potential hedges, while the technology sector remains sensitive to rising energy costs that could impact profit margins in the upcoming quarter.
