Markets:

Stock futures were lower on Tuesday as investors pored through the latest developments in the Middle East, with the conflict between Israel and Iran raging on.

On Monday evening, President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post that “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.” Trump also left the G7 summit in Canada early to deal with the situation in the Middle East.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that Trump offered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. However, Trump said his departure from the G7 had “nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that.”

Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed in choppy trade on Tuesday, as investors assessed the Israel-Iran conflict after U.S. President Donald Trump urged “everyone” to immediately evacuate Tehran.
