S&P 500 Futures Little Changed Ahead of Trump’s Deadline

S&P 500 futures were little changed as the deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz approached. The S&P 500 rose 0.44% and Dow gained 165.21 points, or 0.36%, during Monday's regular session. Trump extended the deadline to Tuesday, threatening destruction of Iran's power plants if compliance does not occur. Additionally, Casey's General Stores is set to join the S&P 500 on April 9, while health insurers saw gains following finalized Medicare Advantage payment rates for 2027. Overall, market sentiment reflects cautious optimism about potential conflict resolution.
