Market Extends Slump Despite Trump Delaying Iran Attacks. Futures Fall With Nasdaq in Correction Territory.

Stocks looked set to slide on Friday, as markets failed to get a boost from President Donald Trump saying he would extend the pause on striking Iranian energy plants for an extra 10 days. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.2% and contracts tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 were 0.2% lower. The three major indexes all slumped on Thursday, with the Nasdaq entering correction territory.
