US Stock Futures Slide After Trump Says Iran Ceasefire Is Over
Context
US equity futures fell as investors turned risk averse after President Donald Trump said the tentative ceasefire with Iran has ended, fueling concerns of a renewal in fighting.
What it means
Trump declaring the Iran ceasefire over represents a genuine escalation beyond the prior 'ongoing tensions' baseline — historically, a ceasefire collapse has been associated with an immediate crude spike on Strait of Hormuz supply-risk fears and short-term equity pressure as investors shift to risk-off. The prior chain's gold and defense calls remain in force and are not repeated here; the new, incremental signals are the sharpened oil supply threat and the equity drawdown already visible in futures markets.
