US stock index futures mixed as Mideast stalemate keeps oil risks in focus

S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures fell as markets priced in the risk that the U.S.-Iran impasse keeps oil prices elevated for longer. The move reflects a broader risk-off tone tied to geopolitics and energy costs, which could weigh on equities if crude remains higher. The immediate impact is market-wide rather than stock-specific.
