DJIA, S&P 500, Nasdaq Futures Dip After Dow Posts Best Day In A Year On Iran Ceasefire Deal — Why DIS, STZ, BB Are On Investors’ Radar Today

• President Trump warned of bigger attacks in case an agreement with Iran is not reached.
• At the time of writing, U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures maturing in May were up nearly 5%, rising to $99 per barrel.
• The fourth-quarter Gross Domestic Product numbers, the Personal Consumption Expenditures index for February 2026, as well as weekly jobless claims, are set to be released today.

U.S. stock futures took a dip on Thursday after a massive rally sent the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) posting its best day in a year following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal.

Dow Jones closed more than 1,300 points higher on Wednesday, registering its best day since April 2025 when President Donald Trump softened his stance on some of the tariffs he had previously announced.

President Trump announced late on Wednesday that the U.S. ships, aircraft, and military personnel will remain in place in and around Iran until an agreement is reached with the Middle Eastern country.

“If for any reason it is not, which is highly unlikely, then the ‘Shootin’ Starts,’ bigger, and better, and stronger than anyone has ever seen before,” he said in a post on Truth Social.

Investors will also keep an eye on the release of key macroeconomic data set to be released today, including the fourth-quarter (Q4) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index for February 2026, as well as weekly jobless claims.

As of 6 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Dow Jones futures were down more than 160 points, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell nearly 0.3%.

Meanwhile, retail sentiment toward the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) trended in the ‘extremely bearish’ territory.

Crude Oil Climbs Back Up

Crude oil prices climbed back up on Thursday after Iran stated that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz had stopped after Israel’s attacks on Lebanon, according to a report by CNN.

At the time of writing, U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures maturing in May were up nearly 5%, rising to $99 per barrel. Brent crude futures expiring in June gained 4% to hover around $98 per barrel.

The United States Oil Fund ETF (USO) gained about 3%, while the ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil ETF (UCO) was up nearly 2% at the time of writing.
