Stock Futures Weaken as Oil Prices and Treasury Yields Rise

Stock futures are pointing to a weaker open as fading hopes for a U.S.-Iran peace agreement push oil prices and Treasury yields higher. Brent crude is rising as the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran comes under pressure, while the 30-year Treasury yield has climbed to around 5.33%, its highest level since 2007. The combination of higher oil and long-term yields is tightening financial conditions and making high-duration technology stocks particularly vulnerable.AI and semiconductor stocks are bearing the brunt of the selling. The weakness comes as investors reassess elevated valuations across the AI trade, with higher borrowing costs adding another headwind to companies whose valuations depend heavily on future growth.The retail sector is providing some support. Home Depot is gaining about 2% after reporting second-quarter sales above expectations, although the company said the housing market remains challenging. Investors will also look to Target and Walmart later this week for a clearer picture of consumer spending and the health of the U.S. consumer.The Federal Reserve's July meeting minutes, due Wednesday, are another catalyst. After the recent weak labor-market data and relatively benign inflation reports, investors have been looking for evidence that policymakers are becoming more comfortable with eventual rate cuts. However, the renewed rise in oil prices and long-term Treasury yields could complicate that outlook.In pre-market trading, S&P 500 futures fell 0.52%, Nasdaq futures fell 0.3% and Dow futures fell 0.10%.Check out this morning's top movers from around Wall Street, compiled by The Fly.HIGHER -Amylyxup 36% after its Lucidity trial met the FDA-agreed-upon primary endpoint demonstrating a 55% reduction in the composite rate of Level 2 and Level 3 hypoglycemic events compared to placeboUP AFTER EARNINGS -Duos Technologiesup 11%Flexsteel Industriesup 6%Home Depotup 2%Amer Sportsup 8%DOWN AFTER EARNINGS -Klarnadown 20%Fabrinetdown 11%Baidudown 9%VNET Groupdown 8%Immaticsdown 2%Pony AIdown 3%LOWER -XTI Aerospacedown 7% after announcing Scott Pomeroy has resigned as CEO and that the company is delaying its quarterly report to complete an internal reviewTesladown 2% after The Informationthe company has told staff it is planning for a public Cybercab launch in August

Major Averages Dip as Market Awaits CPI Report

The major averages were mixed but mostly lower despite oil prices pulling back, as yesterday's surge in chip stocks failed to build on its momentum. The fresh pressure on companies in the AI space reflects the lingering skepticism that part of the rally for chips and datacenter suppliers in recent quarters may have been overblown. Oil prices have pulled back after reports of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, easing concerns about a major supply disruption, though investors are largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of tomorrow's CPI inflation report, which could influence expectations for the Fed's path through the second half of the year. Also keeping the market on edge, President Trump said in a social media post that Iranians shot down a U.S. helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz and that "the United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack."Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.
