Wall Street Might Slide At Open On Geopolitical Risks

U.S. futures are trending lower after Iran launched retaliatory strikes on U.S. bases in Kuwait, Behran and Jordan, escalating geopolitical risk. The move follows reported U.S. strikes on Tehran's military sites, heightening expectations for broader market volatility and a defensive positioning shift. This is a market-wide risk-off shock rather than a stock-specific event.
