Stock futures ticked higher on Thursday night after new comments from Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to somewhat ease concerns around the U.S.-Iran war.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures
were up 85 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures
gained 0.2% as well, along with Nasdaq-100 futures
Stocks fell on Thursday but closed well off their lows after Netanyahu said Israel was assisting the U.S. “in intel and other means” to open the Strait of Hormuz. He added that Iran had lost the ability to enrich uranium and produce ballistic missiles, noting the conflict may end faster than many fear.
