Market News:

U.S. stock futures are trading lower Wednesday morning after renewed geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pressured risk assets. Oil prices surged following comments from President Donald Trump indicating the U.S.–Iran peace agreement was "over," while investors also await the release of the FOMC Meeting Minutes later today for additional clues on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Technology and semiconductor shares are under pressure as higher oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty weigh on market sentiment.

 

Here are some of the key premarket movers:

 

Chevron (NYSE: CVX) gained about 2.4% as crude oil prices rallied following escalating Middle East tensions.

 

Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) advanced around 3.0%, benefiting from the sharp rise in Brent and WTI crude prices.

 

ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP) climbed approximately 2.2% amid strength across the energy sector.

 

APA Corp. (NASDAQ: APA) jumped 4.2% as investors rotated into oil producers.

 

Diamondback Energy (NASDAQ: FANG) rose 2.4% on expectations of improved cash flows from higher oil prices.

 

United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL) fell more than 3% as rising fuel prices weighed on airline stocks.

 

Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) declined more than 3% as investors priced in the impact of higher jet fuel costs.

 

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) traded lower as weakness continued across AI and semiconductor stocks amid broader risk-off sentiment.

 

Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) slipped nearly 5% in premarket trading as chipmakers extended their recent selloff.

 

Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU) dropped nearly 6%, making it one of the weakest semiconductor names before the opening bell.
