Fact Check

The qualitative substance of the claim is well-supported: Reuters confirms Nasdaq 100 futures rose, chip stocks rebounded, and oil eased after Trump's 'immediate ceasefire' remarks about Israel and Iran on June 8, 2026; NBC News and BlockBeats corroborate the Trump ceasefire statement. However, the specific magnitude '1.65%' is not corroborated by any source found: Reuters reports +1.43%, PANews/Bybit reports +1.5%, and BlockBeats earlier reported +1.1%. The 1.65% figure appears slightly overstated relative to documented intraday levels, though it could plausibly reflect a brief intraday peak.

Summary

U.S. stock-index futures moved higher ahead of Monday trading, with Nasdaq 100 futures extending earlier gains to 1.65% from about 1.1%-1.5%, according to PANews citing Bybit data on June 8. S&P 500 futures gained 0.6% and Dow futures added about 85 points, while Micron, Nvidia and Broadcom rebounded from Friday’s chip-led selloff. The source also referenced QQQ, the ticker commonly used for the Invesco QQQ Trust that tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index. Oil briefly topped $92 a barrel on Israel-Iran tensions before easing after President Donald Trump said both sides wanted an immediate ceasefire. Investors are also watching upcoming U.S. inflation data and SpaceX’s Friday IPO, while crypto traders monitor equity futures for signals on broader risk appetite.
