Futures are mixed on reports that Iran and the U.S. were trying for a ceasefire.
At the moment, the S&P 500 is up about 0.06%, or about four points. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) is up about 0.13, or by 83 cents. The Nasdaq is up 0.36%, or by 86 points. The Dow is down 0.14%, or by 64 points. Oil is currently down about 72 cents at $110.82. Gold is down about $1.41 at $4,675. Bitcoin is up about $465 at $69,443.
Unfortunately, Iran reportedly rejected U.S. talks and a proposed 45-day ceasefire after its key petrochemical plant at the South Pars Gas Field was hit. It’s also being reported that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard intelligence chief was killed. And while President Trump extended his 10-day deadline to Tuesday at 8 pm, it looks like the war could intensify.
So, again, more uncertainty, which markets hate.
In addition, “As the conflict with Iran enters its sixth week, persistent concern about the time it will take to arrive at an effective resolution to the conflict will, however, likely remain for now as a negative overhang for market participants to navigate,” said John Stoltzfus, chief investment strategist at Oppenheimer Asset Management, as quoted by CNBC.
Market Movers: Netflix is a buy, says Goldman Sachs
According to Goldman Sachs, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX | NFLX Price Prediction) could push higher after raising its subscription prices. The firm upgraded NFLX to a buy with a price target of $120. Just last month, NFLX raised its prices for the first time since January 2025. All as it invests more in live events, video podcasts, and other content types, as noted by CNBC.
“Ahead of its Q1 2026 earnings report, we preview current industry data and highlight trends in third party data and NFLX’S content slate. In addition, we upgrade the shares from Neutral to Buy while adjusting our 12-month price target to $120 as we see a more positive risk/reward from current levels.”
In addition, analysts at KeyBanc reiterated an overweight rating on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) with a price target of $275. They’re basing that on “24x our FY28 EPS estimate of $11.26.”
And, analysts at Bank of America reiterated a buy rating on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), saying it’s bullish on the company’s MacBook Neo. The firm says Neo is a tailwind to Mac revenues and total company EPS, with the majority of revenue incremental to the company.
