What to know

  • U.S. stock futures jumped Monday on a sharp pullback in oil prices—Brent crude fell 4.2% to $108.68—driven by renewed hopes for U.S.-Iran diplomatic progress following talks in Qatar over a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
  • The market rebound follows a major sell-off Friday when U.S. stocks fell their most since June on AI investment concerns and disappointing earnings from Alphabet and Amazon.
  • Marvell and Lumentum announced a $115 billion all-stock deal, but markets remained skeptical with both stocks falling despite the rebound in broader indices.
  • Wall Street awaits the outcome of Tuesday's U.S. midterm elections and Friday's October jobs report, with voters citing concerns about AI, data centers, and inflation.

“Voters across the political spectrum have shown increasing concerns about AI and data centers, along with inflation and other key issues.”
