In overnight trading, stock futures showed little movement as Wall Street gears up for June at record highs. Futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average decreased by 30 points, while both S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures were flat. May concluded positively, with the Nasdaq Composite leading the charge with an 8% increase, followed by the S&P 500's 5% gain and the Dow's nearly 3% rise. This upward trend follows a ceasefire memorandum between the U.S. and Iran, which President Donald Trump emphasized must lead to Iran's commitment against nuclear weapon development. Analyst Adam Crisafulli noted that while a pact seems likely, it may trigger a 'sell the news' reaction. Additionally, oil prices saw gains, with West Texas Intermediate crude futures up 1.8% to $88.83 a barrel. As the week progresses, market attention will shift to the anticipated nonfarm payrolls report on Friday, which will provide further insight into the labor market and influence Federal Reserve policy decisions.
