U.S. stock futures rose on Wednesday, after Tuesday’s record close. This followed President Donald Trump‘s announcement of a temporary pause in a military-backed operation called ‘Project Freedom.’

This project was designed to escort commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump said on Truth Social that while the U.S. operation would be paused temporarily to allow negotiations to continue, America’s blockade would remain firmly in place.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.37%, and the two-year bond was at 3.89%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 94.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June’s meeting.

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 higher in premarket on Wednesday. The SPY was up 0.56% at $727.85, while the QQQ advanced 1.05% to $688.80.
