US stock futures experienced a notable decline as investors reacted to rising inflation pressures linked to the ongoing conflict in Iran. Brent crude oil prices surged close to $109, exacerbating concerns over supply shortages. Concurrently, US 10-year Treasury yields climbed to 4.54%, the highest level since May 2025, leading to increased odds of a rate hike in December.
