Share

u.s. stock futures were mixed sunday evening, with the s&p 500 and nasdaq pointing in opposite directions. oil prices fell after trump said the u.s. will try to "free" neutral shipping stuck in the persian gulf since the iran war started.

trump's plan would partially reopen the strait of hormuz, a key chokepoint for global oil shipments. the move is aimed at letting neutral vessels move through the waterway again. crude had been elevated for months due to the blockade and ongoing military activity in the region.
