U.S. stock futures saw modest gains ahead of Monday''s session as escalating tensions between Israel and Iran drove oil prices higher and stoked global economic concerns. Nasdaq 100 (NDX), Dow Jones Industrial Average, and S&P 500 futures ROSE 0.19%, 0.06%, and 0.16%, respectively, by 8:18 p.m. EST on June 15.

Oil markets reacted sharply to geopolitical risks, with WTI crude futures surging 3% to surpass $75 per barrel. Gold prices also climbed as investors sought safe-haven assets. The week prior saw equity losses across major indices, with the Dow dropping 1.3%, the S&P 500 declining 0.4%, and the Nasdaq shedding 0.6% following Iran''s missile strikes.
