U.S. futures are ahead of key economic data and continued uncertainty about the conflict in Iran that is hanging over markets despite what the Trump administration has described as a potential deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Futures rose 0.09% for the S&P 500 and 0.13% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Thursday. Nasdaq futures bucked the trend and fell 0.55%. More than 911 million SpaceX shares held by early investors and employees become eligible for sale on Thursday as a lockup period for the stock expires. SpaceX initially soared above the share’s $150 asking price. They have since tumbled about 25%, and were trading just above $112 before the opening bell.
