S&P 500 futures edge up as SpaceX IPO anticipation and Iran peace hopes ease fears, keeping the index stable.
The S&P 500 held steady as U.S. futures rallied on optimism surrounding SpaceX's IPO and progress in Iran peace negotiations. Investors priced in reduced geopolitical risk and potential positive spillover from a high-profile tech listing, keeping the index near flat.
