00:08All right, futures under pressure ahead of Tuesday's open here. We were actually in the
00:13green in the very early morning, but we've since gone green to red and we are holding near the
00:18lows here. S&P futures down 0.52%, Dow futures down 0.46%, and the NASDAQ futures leading the
00:26way down at 0.67%. Now, let's take a look at some cues from the last session here.
00:35Consumer discretionary energy and consumer staples stocks posted the largest gains on Monday as most
00:42S&P sectors finished positively. Conversely, healthcare and utility shares defied the
00:48broader market rally, ending the trading session in negative territory. Let's go back up to the top
00:54here. All right, U.S. stocks rose on Tuesday following Monday's advances. Futures of the
01:01major benchmark indices were higher ahead of President Trump's deadline to destroy Iran's
01:06energy and civilian infrastructure. It failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Again, those gains
01:12have now shifted to losses here prior to the open. Meanwhile, Iran has submitted a 10-point response to
01:18the U.S. peace proposals, which a U.S. official describes as maximalist, end quote, citing the
01:24Iranian state news agency, the IRNA. Now, over the weekend, Trump had said in a Truth Social post that
01:32Tuesday will be Power Plant Day and Bridge Day, all wrapped in one in Iran. There will be nothing
01:37like it. Open the Strait. You'll be in hell. Just watch. We'll be watching, and we'll see what happens
01:44here today. Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.33%, and the two-year bond was at 3.85%.
01:50The CME Group's Fed watch tool projections show the market pricing in a 99.5% likelihood that the
01:57Federal Reserve leaves the current interest rates unchanged in its April meeting. Now, we've got
02:03several stocks in focus here for you today, and the first one is going to be UNH, another healthcare
02:08stock here, United Health Group. It jumped 6.86% after the Trump administration finalized a better-than-feared
02:16Medicare Advantage payment rate by 2.48%, and that, of course, boosted the health insurer's stock.
