Dow Jones futures rose 0.32%, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.55%, and Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 1.31%. The rebound followed Monday's decline, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.59%, the S&P 500 slipped 0.19%, and the Nasdaq Composite edged 0.05% lower, CNBC reported.

Earnings return to the spotlight

Investors are increasingly looking beyond geopolitical headlines as second-quarter earnings season accelerates. This week's reports are expected to provide fresh insight into corporate spending, particularly on artificial intelligence, and whether executives remain confident about economic conditions in the second half of the year.

General Motors and 3M are scheduled to report before Tuesday's opening bell, while Chubb will release quarterly results after the market closes. Later this week, attention will shift to Alphabet, IBM, and Tesla, whose results are expected to influence sentiment across the technology sector.

Technology stocks showed signs of stabilization after recent weakness. Semiconductor shares recovered part of last week's losses, supported by gains in companies including Micron Technology and Advanced Micro Devices.

Oil prices ease despite continued conflict

Military activity in the Middle East continued overnight, with U.S. forces carrying out another round of strikes on Iran while Tehran's allies maintained pressure on regional shipping routes. However, investors focused instead on reports that mediators are working toward a proposed 10-day ceasefire between Washington and Tehran.

The diplomatic effort contributed to lower crude prices. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell about 0.9% to $82.50 a barrel, while Brent crude declined nearly 1% to around $88.34. The retreat in oil prices eased concerns about inflation and reduced pressure on energy-sensitive sectors.

Markets await corporate guidance

This week's earnings reports may determine whether Wall Street can extend its recent recovery despite geopolitical uncertainty. Investors are expected to pay close attention to management forecasts, capital spending plans, and AI investment trends rather than headline profit figures alone.

If large technology companies deliver resilient results while oil prices remain contained, equities could find additional support even as tensions in the Middle East continue.
