Stock Futures Rise to End Worst Quarter Since 2022

Stock futures were rising Tuesday following a report that President Donald Trump told aides he was willing to end the war in Iran even if the U.S. and its allies fail to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. S&P 500 futures added 0.9% and contracts tied to the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 gained 0.8%. It’s the final session of a dismal three-month stretch for the major indexes, which are on course for their worst quarter since 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
