US stock futures rise ahead of Big Tech earnings amid easing oil prices and ongoing US-Iran tensions

US stock futures climbed on Monday with Dow up 0.2%, S&P 500 up 0.3%, and Nasdaq-100 up 0.7%, driven by anticipation of major Big Tech earnings reports from Alphabet, Tesla, Intel, and IBM. Investors are looking for evidence that AI investments are starting to generate revenue. Oil prices fell from over $91 to around $86.70 per barrel after Iran indicated diplomatic talks with the US remain open, despite ongoing conflict and recent US-Iran military clashes. Market focus remains on tech earnings and geopolitical risks affecting energy prices and inflation ahead of the US midterm elections.
