Premarket: Stocks perk up and oil cools as U.S. and Iran halt hostilities

European stocks and U.S. futures rose after the U.S. and Iran agreed to halt recent hostilities and restart talks, easing geopolitical risk. Oil prices fell after spiking earlier in the day on renewed attacks, indicating a reversal in energy-market stress and a broader shift toward risk-on positioning. The move has market-wide implications because it affects equities, crude, and futures trading simultaneously.
