US stocks rise as Iran talks hint at deal; Chevron signs Venezuela oil pact, Fed likely to hold rates.

US stock futures rose following optimism from VP JD Vance about a potential Iran nuclear deal if Tehran meets US demands. Chevron signed an agreement with Venezuela to boost oil production despite a slight stock dip. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates steady in April, with markets closely watching upcoming producer price index data. Analysts remain cautious due to rising oil prices and inflation risks, anticipating a mostly rangebound market unless energy costs ease.
