US Stock Market Live Updates: US stock futures edged higher Tuesday morning, attempting a rebound after the Nasdaq Composite snapped its longest winning streak in decades, as investors tracked a fragile pause in the Iran conflict and weighed in on earnings results.Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped over 250 points , while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 contracts rose 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively, helped by easing oil prices and a sharp post-earnings surge in UnitedHealth.The uptick comes even as geopolitical risks linger. Donald Trump said US negotiators are preparing for fresh talks, even as he accused Iran of violating the ceasefire ahead of its Wednesday expiry, keeping markets on edge despite tentative signs of de-escalation.Back home, Wall Street is also digesting Tim Cook’s impending exit, with Apple shares slipping in premarket trade, while attention turns to Kevin Warsh’s Senate hearing that could shape the next phase of the Fed’s policy path.Kevin Warsh heads to Capitol Hill for a closely watched Senate hearing, where he will need to convince lawmakers he can support lower interest rates without compromising the Federal Reserve’s independence.The hearing before the Senate Banking Committee is expected to cover a wide range of issues, including monetary policy, banking regulation, and Warsh’s personal financial background.A key focus will be how he navigates the line between political pressure and central bank autonomy—a “tricky communication” challenge, according to Bill English, a former senior Fed official.NewsLive TVMarketPopular CategoriesCalculatorsTrending NowLet's Connect with CNBCTV 18Network 18 Group :©TV18 Broadcast Limited.
