Equity markets are mixed with crude oil futures jumping +3% to begin the trading week after President Trump rejected Iran’s response to a proposed peace plan, leaving the critical oil transit route through the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed.

The S&P 500 (/ES) and Russell 2000 (/RTY) futures are headed lower, but Nasdaq 100 futures are showing slight gains.

Ecodata is light to start the week, with Existing Home Sales as the only major figure to consider. Meanwhile, earnings include Oklo (OKLO), Constellation Energy (CEG), JD .com (JD), and Onon Holdings (ONON).
