U.S. stock futures climbed on Wednesday following President Donald Trump's decision to indefinitely extend the Iran ceasefire. However, questions remained on Iran and U.S. ally Israel's agreement to this decision.
Despite uncertainty, S&P and Nasdaq futures showed gains, with global markets rebounding from March's Middle East tensions. U.S. oil prices held steady amid the closed Strait of Hormuz.
Analyst Matt Simpson highlighted the continued positivity in risk markets as traders remained confident, viewing potential dips favorably. The global energy shock persists as a result of the strait's shutdown.
