US equity index futures are trading sharply higher ahead of the Monday session, driven by growing optimism that geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran are subsiding.
The positive shift in sentiment has sparked a broad-based rally in pre-market trading, with investors eager to capitalize on a potential relief rally for technology stocks that have faced significant selling pressure in recent days.
The market move reflects a rapid repricing of geopolitical risk.
As signals of de-escalation in the Strait of Hormuz region strengthen, traders are reducing hedges and rotating capital back into growth-oriented sectors.
The technology sector, which has been a focal point of volatility this week, is leading the advance in futures, suggesting that the recent sell-off may be finding a floor as macro-political headwinds ease.
This development follows a turbulent period for US equities, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite experienced sharp swings amid broader uncertainty.
