Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on the looming end to the ceasefire between the US/Iran along with Kevin Warsh’s Fed confirmation hearing. Earnings and an economic calendar plus Tim Cook’s retirement from Apple getting attention.

From Bloomberg

  • "Stocks rose amid strong corporate earnings as traders waited to see if Iran will join talks that could restore oil flows from the Middle East. The dollar gained and Treasuries wavered ahead of Kevin Warsh’s Senate hearing.

  • Futures for the S&P 500 climbed 0.5%. Brent slipped 0.5% to below $95 a barrel, with President Donald Trump saying negotiations between the US and Iran could begin as early as Tuesday. UnitedHealth Group Inc. rose more than 7% in early trading on a first-quarter profit beat. General Electric Co. also topped estimates while RTX Corp. raised its profit and sales forecasts.

  • All eyes are on the Middle East after Trump signaled he is unlikely to extend a two-week ceasefire in a war that’s upended global oil markets. Tehran has yet to confirm that it will take part in the Islamabad talks, with Trump threatening strikes on the Islamic Republic’s power infrastructure if diplomacy fails."
