Stock Market Today: S&P 500 Futures Fall, Dow Gains Amid US-Iran Agreement, SPCX Stock Surge—Dave And Buster's, Western Digital In Focus

U.S. stock futures were mixed on Tuesday, as the S&P 500 fell, while the Nasdaq 100 and Dow Jones advanced, following Monday’s rally.

On Monday, President Donald Trump announced a preliminary U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending months of conflict, though its final terms and long-term viability remain unresolved. The deal extends April’s fragile ceasefire and is expected to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global oil shipping route.

However, both nations stressed that a permanent peace accord has not yet been negotiated. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called the memorandum an "important step" but noted a lasting truce "has yet to take shape."

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.45%, and the two-year bond was at 4.04%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 98.6% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June’s meeting.
