Dow Futures Slip Amid Iran Sanctions Uncertainty

US stock index futures moved lower at the start of the week as investors assessed the potential impact of new US sanctions on Iran. The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq futures are under pressure as markets evaluate the possible economic consequences of these sanctions.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is scheduled to provide details about the additional sanctions targeting Iran's trade relationships. Tehran has warned that it may retaliate by limiting oil exports from the Gulf.

The uncertainty surrounding US-Iran relations and potential disruptions to energy supplies have led to a 2% drop in oil prices on Monday. Higher energy prices could complicate the inflation outlook and influence expectations for Federal Reserve policy.
