US stock futures drop as US-Iran talks stall and Brent climbs above $108, lifting October rate-hike bets
Stalled US-Iran talks and rejection of a Hormuz reopening proposal pushed Brent above $108, reviving inflation concerns and lifting October Fed hike odds toward 70%. Higher Treasury yields and a stronger dollar tightened financial conditions, weighing on US equity futures, especially tech. Gold and silver sold off as real rates rose, while oil became the key macro transmission channel for near-term cross-asset risk.
