U.S. stock futures fell on Thursday following Wednesday’s positive close. Futures of the major benchmark indices were lower.

Ongoing conflict in the Middle East remains the primary driver of significant market volatility, as hostilities involving the U.S., Israel, and Iran have escalated throughout the region. This marks the sixth consecutive day of unrest with no clear end in sight.

However, the New York Times reports that the Iranian leadership has initiated contact with Trump to explore potential ceasefire negotiations.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 3.11%, and the two-year bond was at 3.56%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 97.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in March.

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, respectively, were lower in premarket on Thursday. The SPY was down 0.099% at $684.45, while the QQQ declined 0.11% to $610.10.
