S&P 500 futures are flat near record highs as Brent crude oil rises above $100 due to ongoing conflict in Iran, boosting energy stocks like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Meanwhile, high bond yields above 5% are pressuring tech stocks, with NVIDIA slightly down. This reflects a quiet portfolio rotation from tech to energy sectors. Investors await major U.S. bank earnings on October 13, which will reveal if the economic slowdown is impacting borrowers, especially with weak job growth in September.
As investors watch the calm in S&P 500 futures and rising oil prices, energy stocks on Pluang show strength.
