Dow Futures Rise 155 Points As Oil Falls, Trump Says He's Delaying Strikes On Iran's Energy Plants By 10 Days On Tehran's 'Request'
Published on March 27, 2026.
U.S. stock futures rose by 155 points and oil prices slipped as President Donald Trump announced a temporary pause on planned strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure. The decision comes as negotiations towards ending the ongoing conflict with Iran are reportedly progressing well. Despite initial threats from Iran, the president extended the timeline to five days and announced that talks are ongoing. The delay pushes back potential U.S.-led military action as the conflict nears the one-month mark. The U.N. dollar index was nearly flat at 99.09.
