U.S. stock market futures are indicating a volatile trading day as tensions between Iran and the U.S. escalate, leading to a broad sell-off in the market. On Monday, the S&P 500 fell by 0.4%, closing at 7,200.75, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.1% to 48,941.90 and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2% to 25,067.80. This downturn follows reports of attacks on the United Arab Emirates by Iran, which have raised concerns over the stability of the ceasefire established in early April. In contrast, Palantir Technologies has raised its annual revenue forecast, reflecting strong demand for its data analytics software, particularly from U.S. government clients. The company recently secured a $300 million contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and anticipates second-quarter revenues between $1.797 billion and $1.801 billion, exceeding previous estimates.
