Iran Offers to Reopen Strait of Hormuz, Oil Slides, Futures Steady
NDX sits 33% above its 52-week low of $22,841.417.
Summary
Futures are steady after Monday's tech-led rally, with oil prices falling sharply on reports Iran offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US eases military pressure. The proposal, conveyed through mediators on September 16, has not been independently verified. Brent crude briefly dipped below $98 a barrel, extending a five-session decline of over 10%. The Nasdaq-100 is trading near its 52-week high, and the easing geopolitical risk could support further gains in tech and AI stocks. Watch for confirmation of the Iran offer and any US response, as well as Richmond Fed data and Fed speakers today.
