  • "US stock futures fluctuated and crude oil dipped as investors focused their attention on a report of a push to secure a potential ceasefire in the war in Iran. 

  • S&P 500 futures rose 0.1% in light trading after the Easter holiday. Several markets in Europe and Asia are still closed. Brent crude was trading near $108 a barrel. The dollar weakened. Ten-year Treasury yields held near 4.34%. 

  • Axios reported that US allies are pressing for a last-minute deal with Iran, citing sources with knowledge of the talks. The people, who were not named, said chances of reaching a deal over the next 48 hours are low. A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said “no rational person” would agree to the ceasefire proposal. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump issued aggressive threats to destroy Iran’s power plants."
