Stock Futures Spike After Trump Postpones Further Strikes on Iran

Stock futures were surging on Monday after President Donald Trump said that the U.S. would postpone further strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for five days, subject to the success of ongoing peace talks. The three major indexes have tumbled for four weeks in a row, and on Monday they looked set for further losses until Trump shared that the U.S. and Iran had started discussing how to end the conflict in the Middle East.
