U.S. stock futures declined on Wednesday, as the Dow Jones, Nasdaq 100, and S&P 500 indices fell, following Tuesday’s higher close.

Market sentiment faced fresh geopolitical pressure as Iran ruled out direct talks with U.S. envoys, stating that "no meeting at any level ​with the American side has been scheduled for the coming days." The diplomatic impasse casts uncertainty over a fragile ceasefire near a critical oil transit route, pushing negotiators to communicate solely through Qatari mediators.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.47%, and the two-year bond was at 4.17%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool’s projections show markets pricing a 66.3% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during July’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 lower in premarket on Wednesday. The SPY was down 0.18% at $745.42, while the QQQ declined by 0.54% to $732.45.
