Stock Futures Slump as Trump's Iran Address Rattles the Market

Stocks were on course to open in the red Thursday after President Donald Trump’s address to the nation left the market guessing when the Iran war will end. “Market sentiment has deteriorated overnight,” Deutsche Bank economist Peter Sidorov said. Trump’s speech “delivered little to nothing new on potential timelines or conditions for ending hostilities against Iran… There was no signal of the U.S. seeking an imminent offramp out of the war,” he added.
