Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on the US and Iran failing to agree on terms to end the war along with the move in oil and treasuries as markets continue trading near record highs. The Trump/Xi Jinping summit this week also getting attention.

From Bloomberg

  • "Stocks withstood rising oil prices and higher bond yields after the US and Iran failed to agree on terms to end the war in the Middle East.

  • S&P 500 futures traded just below an all-time high. Brent advanced more than 2% to above $103 a barrel as the Strait of Hormuz remained shut. Prices rose as optimism that the US and Iran would reopen the waterway got dashed after President Donald Trump deemed Tehran’s latest proposals “totally unacceptable.”

  • Bond yields climbed across the world as the standoff amplified fears of an oil-driven inflation shock and expectations of central banks tightening monetary policy. The 10-year Treasury rate rose three basis points to 4.39%. The dollar edged 0.1% higher, while gold dipped below $4,700 an ounce."
