Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) before the closing bell in New York City on April 8, 2026.

Futures tied to the S&P 500 were near flat on Monday night, following a strong session in which traders shrugged off a breakdown in peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, yet were optimistic that a deal between the two countries was still possible.

S&P 500 futures added 0.08%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 17 points, or 0.04%. Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.2%.

Wall Street once again proved resilient in the face of increased geopolitical uncertainty. The major averages posted solid gains to start the week even after U.S.-Iran negotiations over the weekend broke down. President Donald Trump also said Monday that, "We've been called by the other side." He also said: "They'd like to make a deal very badly."

Monday's gains erased the S&P 500 losses suffered since the Iran war began.
