Nasdaq and Dow Jones set to bounce back after Trump extends ceasefire

U.S. stock futures were higher ahead of Wednesday's open, with Dow and S&P 500 futures up 0.5% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.7%, as Washington extended the ceasefire with Iran. The move reflects modest relief in geopolitical risk, though tensions in the Gulf remain elevated. The likely market impact is limited to sentiment and pre-market positioning rather than a broad fundamental shift.
