US Equity Futures Rise; Oil Slumps; Trump to Attend NATO Summit

US equity futures saw an increase, driven by a rebound in the technology sector, with SK Hynix preparing for a US listing this week. This positive market movement suggests renewed investor confidence in tech stocks.

Concurrently, oil prices experienced a significant slump. This decline is attributed to the restoration of oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, following a period of tanker U-turns. Additionally, OPEC+ members have agreed to a modest increase in oil supply for the upcoming month, further contributing to the downward pressure on prices.

In geopolitical news, Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are anticipated to meet at a NATO summit scheduled to take place in Turkey. This high-level meeting is expected to address ongoing international relations and security matters.
