Wall Street Mixed as Peace Talks Falter Amid Earnings Focus

Wall Street futures were subdued early Monday, reflecting stalled peace negotiations between the U.S. and Iran, as investors look to a wave of corporate earnings and insights from the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting.

With a peace agreement elusive, investors found some reassurance in strong earnings reports. 81.3% of the 139 S&P 500 companies that disclosed results exceeded earnings expectations, according to LSEG data. However, analysts warn these figures may not fully account for recent Middle East disruptions.

At 5:44 a.m. ET, Dow and S&P 500 E-minis were marginally down, while Nasdaq 100 E-minis saw slight declines. Notable stock movements included Qualcomm gaining 10.6% and Intel rising 2.7%, post a prior session surge. Meanwhile, Brent crude maintained a 49% increase from pre-war levels, illustrating underestimation concerns within commodity markets.
