Wall Street indexes flat after AI rally as investors eye US‑Iran talks

Wall Street’s major indexes barely moved on Tuesday after yesterday’s strong AI‑driven rally, while traders kept an eye on possible talks between Washington and Tehran to end a six‑month conflict. At 7:12 a.m. ET, Dow futures rose 111 points, a gain of 0.21 %. S&P 500 futures inched up 0.03 % and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.05 %. Tech shares tied to artificial‑intelligence tools led the advance, pulling the broader market higher. The modest futures gains show the market’s cautious stance despite the AI‑fuelled surge. Investors said the focus remains on diplomatic moves that could calm Middle‑East tensions, which have weighed on risk sentiment. No further price movement was reported for the spot indexes at the time of writing.
