Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Gain, S&P 500 Slips As Trump Floats Meeting Iran's Supreme Leader— Lululemon, Keel In Focus

Rishabh Mishra — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 09:18:48 +0000

U.S. stock futures were mixed on Friday, as the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 fell, and the Dow Jones index gained, following a mixed close on Thursday.

Following an Oval Office coal policy announcement, President Donald Trump stated he would consider meeting Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei if diplomacy progresses.

“If we make a deal, it’s possible that I would meet,” Trump said. “I’d be okay with that.” His comments come amid mixed signals from negotiations as the U.S.-Iran conflict enters its fourth month under a fragile ceasefire.

Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46%, and the two-year bond was at 4.03%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 96.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June’s meeting.

Index	Performance (+/-)
Dow Jones	0.06%
S&P 500	-0.53%
Nasdaq 100	-1.09%
Russell 2000	-0.63%

The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, respectively, were lower in premarket on Friday. The SPY was down 0.47% at $753.51, while the QQQ declined by 1.04% to $732.91.

Stock Market: Will S&P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?

Eva Mathew — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 08:44:15 +0000

The S&P 500 rebounded on Thursday after snapping a nine-day winning streak a day earlier, but Polymarket traders are overwhelmingly betting the benchmark index will open lower on Friday.

The S&P 500 gained 0.41% to close at 7,584.31 on Thursday, recovering part of Wednesday’s decline. The June 5 Polymarket contract implied just a 21% probability that the index will open higher on Friday.

Why That Number Matters

Friday’s jobs report could shape expectations for Federal Reserve policy at a time when investors remain focused on inflation, interest rates and geopolitical risks.

Canada launches Forest Sector Action Plan

PRNewswire — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:51:00 +0000

VICTORIA, BC, June 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Canada's forest sector is at a pivotal moment. Ongoing pressures — including tariffs, fibre supply challenges, changing market demands and climate change — are significantly impacting the industry and the communities that depend on it. In response, the Government of Canada is focusing on what we can control — and moving forward with provinces, territories and Indigenous partners on a co-ordinated approach to transform the sector into one that can thrive in the long term.

Today, the Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, announced a Forest Sector Action Plan, with key commitments to drive the transformation of the forest sector in collaboration with provinces, territories, Indigenous Peoples and other key partners.

The Action Plan is informed by the Canadian Forest Sector Transformation Task Force's recommendations and builds on the extensive work it completed during its 90–day mandate.

The plan focuses on four priority areas to position Canada's forest sector as a leading global supplier of both traditional and advanced forest products:

Securing a competitive and predictable supply of wood fibre;

Making the investments required for innovation and modernization across the sector;

Expanding domestic and international market opportunities; and

Supporting workers and communities through skills development and transition measures.

Federal, provincial and territorial governments discussed the implementation of the Action Plan during this year's meeting of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM). At the meeting, governments committed to collaborate over the coming months to align policies and investments, reduce barriers and accelerate progress toward transformation. This work will come together by the end of 2026 in a ...
