U.S. stock futures slide as Nasdaq futures fall 0.67% and Brent tops $100, with Fed minutes in focus
US equity index futures weakened after a fresh S&P 500 record as Brent crude pushed above $100 on renewed Strait of Hormuz shipping attacks and global yields rose sharply (10Y/30Y at multi-decade highs). Higher energy prices and tighter financial conditions lift inflation risk and raise the bar for equities. Markets are also positioned for potentially hawkish signals in upcoming Fed minutes, reinforcing near-term risk-off tone.
