U.S. stock futures experienced a decline as tensions in the Middle East escalated, particularly surrounding the Strait of Hormuz. The situation intensified following recent announcements by President Donald Trump regarding renewed sanctions against Iran, which were seen as a catalyst for rising oil prices. By July 13, oil prices surged approximately 5%, prompting major sell-offs, particularly in technology stocks on Wall Street.
