Tech stocks snap back in futures as Trump urges Iran-Israel ceasefire, Apple falls on WWDC reaction

U.S. stock index futures moved higher Monday as investors looked past last week’s sharp tech-led pullback, pointing to signs of easing between Iran and Israel and President Donald Trump’s public push for restraint. Reuters reported that signs of reduced tensions supported European stocks and helped U.S. futures recover after Friday’s selloff in technology.

The renewed optimism came as markets digested competing indicates from the region. Reuters said Tehran told investors it had ended its military operation against Israel, calming concerns that a “flurry” of weekend attacks could derail efforts to broker a peace deal. Meanwhile, the earlier escalation had already pushed up oil prices, adding pressure to parts of the broader market until traders reassessed the risk.

In the U.S., Trump used his Truth Social account to urge both sides to stop “shooting,” while also indicating optimism that negotiations were still moving toward an end to the conflict., citing Reuters, also reported that Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would halt attacks on Iran “for now,” while vowing to respond with “great force” if Tehran attacked again.

With geopolitics temporarily less dire, chip stocks regained momentum. reported that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index jumped 5.6% after Friday’s losses, and it highlighted Micron Technology as one of the percentage gainers on the Nasdaq Composite. The rebound in semiconductors helped stabilize the wider growth-sensitive complex that had been pressured by the prior selloff.

Apple was the notable exception within the mega-cap technology set. said Apple slipped 1.9% after it unveiled new features and products at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference and that the updates “failed to impress.” While WWDC is Apple’s annual event for developers and is typically a catalyst for interest in iPhone and other platform software updates, Monday’s trading suggested investors were looking for clearer momentum than what was delivered in the immediate reaction.

Yahoo Finance’s market roundup, which focused on the biggest stock moves in the immediate session, named Apple, Micron, Nvidia, SanDisk, and Tesla as large movers. In the Yahoo post available for this assignment, the specific stock-by-stock catalysts beyond the broader market bounce were not fully detailed for each company, so it was not possible to attribute Monday’s moves for every name to a company-specific announcement using the same level of detail. (This report therefore concentrates on the macro and sector drivers that multiple outlets described.)

For investors tracking Apple in particular, the company continued to frame its regular reporting channels as the way to follow results and risk disclosures. In an April 2026 Apple earnings release, the company said it periodically provides information for investors through its corporate website and investor relations site, including press releases and items filed or furnished with the SEC.

What remains uncertain is how durable the ceasefire indicates are and whether oil prices continue to retreat from the levels seen during the weekend escalation. The same uncertainty also affects how much of Monday’s tech rebound reflects a true change in risk appetite versus a short-covering move. Traders will likely watch for fresh headlines on Iran and Israel, plus additional market indicates on rate expectations and growth sentiment as the week progresses.
