  <title>Stock Market Today: S&amp;P 500, Dow Futures Inch Up As US-Iran Deal Awaits Trump Approval — Dell, Agilent, Hewlett Packard Enterprise In Focus</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/26/05/52865176/stock-market-today-sp-500-dow-futures-inch-up-as-us-iran-deal-awaits-trump-approval-dell-agilent?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;U.S. stock futures edged up on Friday after closing higher on Thursday, with all the major indexes gaining as investors kept a close watch on the Iran war developments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The U.S. and Iran have reportedly reached an agreement to extend the ongoing ceasefire by 60 days, but it is currently awaiting final approval from President &lt;strong&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The agreement would allow traffic to flow uninterrupted through the Strait of Hormuz while the two sides negotiate the future of Iran&amp;#039;s nuclear program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yields stood at 4.461%, and the two-year bond was at 4.035%. The CME Group&amp;#8217;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;‘s projections show markets pricing a 98.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#039;s meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Benzinga&amp;#039;s Edge Stock Rankings&lt;/strong&gt; indicate that DELL maintains a strong price trend in the long, medium, and short terms, with a strong momentum rank.&lt;/li&gt;

  <title>Stock Market Today: S&amp;P 500, Dow, Nasdaq Futures Fall As Hot PCE Inflation Clouds Fed Rate Cut Hopes— Snowflake, Salesforce In Focus (UPDATED)</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/26/05/52831354/stock-market-today-sp-500-dow-futures-decline-as-us-and-iran-exchange-strikes-snowfalke-salesfor?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Editor&amp;#8217;s note: The future prices of benchmark tracking ETFs, and the headline were updated in the story.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S. stock futures fell on Thursday after a higher close on Wednesday, as all indices ended marginally higher, but the small-cap index, the Russell 200, declined.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A slew of economic data was released on Thursday before the markets opened. First-quarter real GDP was revised down to an annualized growth rate of 1.6%, while the Fed&amp;#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, the April PCE price index, rose 0.4% from the prior month and 3.8% year-over-year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, initial jobless claims for the week ending May 23 edged higher to 215,000, and April durable-goods orders surged by a stronger-than-expected 7.9%, driven by a sharp rebound in transportation equipment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A U.S. official, speaking anonymously to Reuters, said &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/26/05/52829415/trump-iran-red-lines-strait-of-hormuz-oil-tops-90&quot;&gt;American forces struck&lt;/a&gt; an Iranian ground control station in Bandar Abbas that was allegedly preparing to launch attack drones. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The official also said U.S. forces shot down four one-way drones that posed a threat near the Strait of Hormuz. &amp;#8220;These actions were measured, ‌purely ⁠defensive, and intended to maintain the ceasefire,&amp;#8221; the official said&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.50%, and the two-year bond was at 4.05%. The CME Group&amp;#039;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 99.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#8217;s meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

The SPY was down 0.0027% at $750.48, while the QQQ was lower by 0.023% to $729.61.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Burrito Barrier: Chipotle and Taco Bell Emerge Stronger As Guzman Y Gomez Ends US Expansion Attempt</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;After the Australian-born Mexican chain &lt;strong&gt;Guzman y Gomez&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xaaty16&quot;&gt;shut it&amp;#8217;s U.S. operations&lt;/a&gt; last week, U.S. incumbents with a higher market share, &lt;strong&gt;Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;ticker-link&quot; data-ticker=&quot;CMG&quot; data-exchange=&quot;NYSE&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMG&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;(NYSE:&lt;a class=&quot;ticker&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CMG&quot;&gt;CMG&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Yum! Brands Inc.&amp;#8217;&lt;/strong&gt;s &lt;a class=&quot;ticker-link&quot; data-ticker=&quot;YUM&quot; data-exchange=&quot;NYSE&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/YUM&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;(NYSE:&lt;a class=&quot;ticker&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/YUM&quot;&gt;YUM&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; Taco Bell are in focus after GyG&amp;#8217;s exit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Eliminating An Ambitious Challenger&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the closure of its stores, effective May 22, Chipotle and Taco Bell have successfully neutralized a well-capitalized international threat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Backed by massive success in Australia, Singapore, and Japan, GyG entered the U.S. with plans to expand. However, GyG&amp;#8217;s leadership eventually admitted that the U.S. market required significantly more time, brand awareness, and capital than they had anticipated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/food/2026/may/25/gyg-class-action-workers-closed-chicago-stores-guzman-y-gomez&quot;&gt;Guardian&lt;/a&gt; reported that over 500 employees at GyG launched a class action lawsuit alleging they received zero notice before termination. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Impenetrable Market Moats&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;GyG co-founder &lt;strong&gt;Steven Marks&lt;/strong&gt; told the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/may/22/guzman-y-gomez-exits-us-after-succumbing-to-graveyard-for-australian-fast-food-chains&quot;&gt;Guardian&lt;/a&gt; that breaking into the U.S. market &amp;#8220;was going to take significantly more time and capital than we had expected,&amp;#8221; and that it didn&amp;#8217;t justify the &amp;#8220;continued investment of shareholder capital.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incredibly steep capital required to secure prime real estate, build robust supply chains, and market against established giants like CMG and YUM acts as a massive defensive barrier. This protects domestic leaders from foreign disruption.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market: Will S&amp;P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/markets/prediction-markets/26/05/52830689/sp500-may-28-open-up-or-down-polymarket-pce-inflation-ai-stocks?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 eked out another record close on Wednesday as easing oil prices offset weakness in parts of the semiconductor trade, but Polymarket traders are leaning slightly bearish ahead of a crucial inflation reading due Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 rose 0.02% to close at a fresh record of 7,520.36. The May 28 Polymarket contract implied a 55% probability that the benchmark index would open lower on Thursday, compared with a 45% chance of an upward open.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Oil Prices Sink On Iran Truce Optimism— But Wall Street Warns Hormuz Crisis Is Far From Over</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/26/05/52805070/oil-prices-sink-on-iran-truce-optimism-but-wall-street-warns-hormuz-crisis-is-far-from-over?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Oil prices moved lower on Wednesday as investors weighed the prospect of a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/26/05/52769654/marco-rubio-says-iran-deal-could-take-ew-days-us-launches-defensive-strikes&quot;&gt;U.S.-Iran agreement&lt;/a&gt; that could restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, where traffic has remained severely disrupted since the conflict erupted in late February. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WTI crude oil futures were down 5.4% at 8.36 a.m. EST, while Brent futures were down 4.6% to $94.9 per barrel. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Piper Sandler Warns Supply Risks Remain Elevated&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, Wall Street brokerage &lt;strong&gt;Piper Sandler&lt;/strong&gt; doesn&amp;#039;t believe that a new deal will be decided soon between the U.S. and Iran, and expects oil prices to remain elevated as the Strait of Hormuz is largely expected to remain closed. &lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market Today: S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Futures Rise Following Tech Rally—Zscaler, United Microelectronics, Braiin In Focus (UPDATED)</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Editor&amp;#8217;s note: The future prices of benchmark tracking ETFs and the headline, were updated in the story.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S. stock futures rose on Wednesday, after a mixed close on Tuesday as the Nasdaq advanced, led by tech stocks, while the Dow Jones index ended lower.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During Tuesday&amp;#8217;s trading, &lt;strong&gt;Micron Technology Inc.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;ticker-link&quot; data-ticker=&quot;MU&quot; data-exchange=&quot;NASDAQ&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MU&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;(NASDAQ:&lt;a class=&quot;ticker&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MU&quot;&gt;MU&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; surged to surpass a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/26/05/52799678/micron-worth-less-than-70-billion-last-year-now-its-a-1-trillion-company&quot;&gt;$1 trillion market capitalization&lt;/a&gt; for the first time, anchoring a major technology sector rally during the regular session. Conversely, &lt;strong&gt;Zscaler Inc.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;ticker-link&quot; data-ticker=&quot;ZS&quot; data-exchange=&quot;NASDAQ&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZS&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;(NASDAQ:&lt;a class=&quot;ticker&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ZS&quot;&gt;ZS&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; tumbled after issuing a current-quarter revenue &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/26/05/52799122/jim-cramer-warns-of-slowing-sales-as-zscaler-stock-crashes-after-soft-q4-guidance-leadership-shakeup&quot;&gt;forecast that fell short&lt;/a&gt; of Wall Street&amp;#8217;s expectations. &amp;#8211;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.46%, and the two-year bond was at 4.02%. The CME Group&amp;#039;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 99.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#8217;s meeting. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The stock&amp;#8217;s short-term and medium-term price trends have shifted into downward trajectories, reflecting a nearly 8.77% decline over the past month.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market: Will S&amp;P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?</title>
  <link>https://www.benzinga.com/markets/prediction-markets/26/05/52800148/sp500-may-27-open-up-or-down-polymarket-micron-ai-iran-talks?utm_source=benzinga_taxonomy&amp;utm_medium=rss_feed_free&amp;utm_content=taxonomy_rss&amp;utm_campaign=channel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 climbed to another record high on Tuesday, driven by a rally in technology stocks and optimism that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran could eventually lead to an end to the conflict.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benchmark index gained 0.61% to close at 7,519.12. The May 27 Polymarket contract implied a roughly 61% probability that the S&amp;amp;P 500 would open higher on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market Today: S&amp;P 500, Dow, Nasdaq Futures Up Amid US &#039;Defensive Strikes&#039; On Iran— Elbit Systems, Intuitive Machines, Zscaler In Focus (UPDATED)</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Editor&amp;#8217;s note: The future prices of benchmark tracking ETFs, and the headline were updated in the story.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S. stock futures rose on Tuesday, after a day&amp;#8217;s break for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/26/05/52765375/memorial-day-2026-is-stock-market-open-today&quot;&gt;Memorial Day&lt;/a&gt;, following a higher close on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The U.S. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/26/05/52768157/us-strikes-southern-iran-trump-nuclear-dust-dow-futures-brent-crude&quot;&gt;carried out &amp;#8220;defensive strikes&amp;#8221;&lt;/a&gt; in southern Iran after President&lt;strong&gt; Donald Trump &lt;/strong&gt;said negotiations are &amp;#8220;proceeding nicely.&amp;#8221; U.S. Central Command said American forces launched strikes targeting Iranian missile launch sites and boats allegedly attempting to place mines near key waterways. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.51%, and the two-year bond was at 4.06%. The CME Group&amp;#039;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 98.1% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#8217;s meeting. &lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market: Will S&amp;P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 extended its record-setting run on Friday as easing Treasury yields and optimism around a potential resolution to the U.S.-Iran war supported risk appetite, and Polymarket traders are betting the benchmark index will open higher on Tuesday after the Memorial Day holiday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 rose 0.37% to close at a record 7,473.47 on Friday. The May 26 Polymarket contract implied a 91% probability that the index would open higher when trading resumes on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, persistent uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-Iran peace talks is capping enthusiasm as Reuters reports that a directive from Iran&amp;#039;s Supreme Leader to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/26/05/52737127/mojtaba-khamenei-enriched-uranium-trump-iran-stockpile-oil&quot;&gt;keep its enriched uranium stockpile&lt;/a&gt; within the country has hardened Tehran&amp;#8217;s stance on a core American demand. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Pakistan attempts to mediate a breakthrough, investor caution remains elevated over unresolved sticking points regarding the Strait of Hormuz and a potential global energy shock, pushing oil prices higher and keeping the U.S. dollar near a six-week high.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.57%, and the two-year bond was at 4.09%. The CME Group&amp;#039;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 97.2% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#8217;s meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;wp-block-heading&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CLSK Stock&amp;#8217;s Momentum Score Rises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the past week, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CLSK&quot;&gt;CleanSpark&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#039;s &lt;strong&gt;Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#8216; momentum score surged from a solid 79.51 to a top-tier 93.52.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This leap places the stock in the upper echelon of market performers, as the momentum metric measures a stock&amp;#8217;s relative strength based on its price movement patterns and volatility over multiple timeframes, ranked as a percentile against other stocks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This breakout directly coincides with the stock&amp;#8217;s 36.92% price gain over the past month.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market: Will S&amp;P 500 Open Up Or Down Today?</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 extended its gains on Thursday as easing oil prices and cooling Treasury yields helped offset inflation concerns, and Polymarket traders are betting the benchmark index will open higher on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The S&amp;amp;P 500 rose 0.17% to close at 7,445.72 on Thursday, marking its second consecutive advance after snapping a three-day losing streak earlier this week. The May 22 Polymarket contract implied a 78% probability that the index would open higher on Friday.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stock Market Today: Dow, S&amp;P 500, Nasdaq Futures Fall After NVDA&#039;s Q1 Results— Nebius Group, Intuit In Focus (UPDATED)</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Editor&amp;#8217;s note: The future prices of benchmark tracking ETFs, the economic data, the lede and the headline were updated in the story.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S. stock futures pared earlier gains to decline on Thursday following &lt;strong&gt;Nvidia Corp.&amp;#8217;s&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a class=&quot;ticker-link&quot; data-ticker=&quot;NVDA&quot; data-exchange=&quot;NASDAQ&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noopener&quot;&gt;(NASDAQ:&lt;a class=&quot;ticker&quot; href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA&quot;&gt;NVDA&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/a&gt; first-quarter earnings results released after Wednesday&amp;#8217;s higher close.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the economic front, Thursday&amp;#8217;s data presented a mixed macro picture for investors to digest. Seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims for the week ending May 16 ticked down by 3,000 to 209,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, regional manufacturing abruptly lost momentum, as the Philadelphia Fed&amp;#8217;s current general activity index for May plunged to -0.4 from April&amp;#8217;s 26.7.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The housing sector also sent split signals; April housing starts declined by 2.8% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,465,000, while future construction indicators looked brighter as building permits jumped 5.8% to a rate of 1,442,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not long after Nvidia released its results, SpaceX submitted its S-1 registration &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/26/05/52707022/spacex-ipo-filing-lands-first-look-inside-elon-musks-public-offering&quot;&gt;statement to the SEC&lt;/a&gt;. The filing provided a rare public glimpse into the company&amp;#039;s financial health just ahead of its upcoming investor roadshow scheduled for June. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.58%, and the two-year bond was at 4.06%. The CME Group&amp;#039;s FedWatch &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html&quot;&gt;tool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 96.8% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June&amp;#8217;s meeting.&lt;/p&gt;

The SPY was down 0.25% at $739.43, while the QQQ was lower by 0.44% to $710.04.&lt;/p&gt;
