U.S. stock index futures edged higher on Wednesday evening following a strong session that pushed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite to all-time highs, fueled by diplomatic optimism and encouraging corporate earnings results.S&P 500 futures climbed 0.2% to 7,070.75 points, Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 0.3% to 26,440.75 points, and Dow Jones futures gained 0.2% to 48,478.0 points as of 8:43 PM ET.During regular trading, the S&P 500 surpassed the 7,000 milestone for the first time ever, closing approximately 0.8% higher, while the Nasdaq Composite surged nearly 1.6% on the back of broad-based strength in technology and software stocks. The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a marginal decline, bucking the broader upward trend.A key driver behind the market rally was renewed optimism surrounding potential U.S.-Iran diplomatic negotiations. President Trump told Sky News that a permanent ceasefire with Iran was "very possible" ahead of King Charles's scheduled visit later this month. The White House confirmed that a second round of talks was underway and described the discussions as productive, though officials clarified that reports of a formal U.S. ceasefire request were inaccurate. Easing tensions helped calm investor fears over elevated oil prices and their potential inflationary impact on the broader economy.Strong bank earnings further boosted market confidence. Bank of America reported a 17% quarterly profit increase, driven by robust trading activity and a recovery in investment banking revenue. Morgan Stanley delivered an even more impressive showing, with profits jumping nearly 30%, supported by record equities trading and stronger dealmaking.Investor attention now shifts to upcoming earnings from PepsiCo, Travelers Companies, U.S. Bancorp, Abbott Laboratories, and Charles Schwab, all scheduled to report before Thursday's opening bell, as markets look to

CFTC probes oil futures trades tied to Trump's moves in Iran: Report



The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is reportedly investigating suspicious oil trades that were placed ahead of certain announcements made by the Trump administration relating to the Iran war.

According to a Bloomberg report on Wednesday, the CFTC’s probe focuses on trading activity on CME Group’s NYMEX and the Intercontinental Exchange’s futures platforms.

The regulator is also requesting “Tag 50” identity data from exchanges to assist with the investigation. Tag 50 data is widely used for auditing and regulatory compliance checks.

The investigation into the futures trading platforms comes in parallel with the rising scrutiny of insider trading in prediction markets.

Bloomberg said the CFTC is reviewing at least two instances over a two-week period in which oil trading volumes surged shortly before the Trump administration made announcements related to the Iran war.

The first of those occurred on March 23, when billions of dollars in futures traded about 15 minutes before US President Donald Trump postponed plans to strike Iranian energy infrastructure.

The second instance occurred around two weeks later, on April 7, when Trump announced a two-week ceasefire on Iran, Bloomberg said.

The trading spikes contributed to falling oil prices and rising equity prices.

“There’s enormous appetite to pursue cases like this,” said Brian Young, a partner at law firm Jones Day who previously served as director of the CFTC’s enforcement division.

Bitcoin stalls near $75,000 on Gate as traders test a familiar resistance band after bouncing from $68,000 support that has repeatedly defined this cycle's downside line.

Summary Bitcoin trades at $75,000 on Gate with 1.19% daily gain. Move comes after weeks of choppy range between $68,000 and $75,000. Traders watch if BTC can finally clear the $75,000 ceiling. Bitcoin (BTC) surged to $75,000 on Gate's BTC/USDT market on April 15, marking another test of the level that has capped every major rally this year. According to Gate market data, BTC/USDT is currently quoted at $75,000 with a 24-hour increase of 1.19%, after touching an intraday high near $74,949 and a low around $73,510. The latest push higher extends a rebound that began when Bitcoin bounced from roughly $68,000 support, a range that crypto.news recently described as "the last line of defense" before deeper downside. Bitcoin retests $75k resistance In a recent crypto.news story, Bitcoin was trading near $74,400 after a more than 5% intraday jump, with the outlet flagging $75,000 to $76,100 as the "next meaningful resistance" tied to February's pre-war swing high. That zone has repeatedly rejected upside attempts; earlier coverage noted that $73,000 to $75,000 has "capped every rally" since the US-Iran ceasefire, forcing altcoins like ETH, SOL and DOGE to lag whenever BTC stalls below a clean breakout. RootData, citing Gate's order book, similarly reported that "BTC/USDT is currently reported at $75,008.8, with a 24-hour increase of 5.65%," underscoring how quickly momentum can accelerate once Bitcoin approaches this band. The latest move unfolds against a backdrop of strong spot and derivatives flows, with prior crypto.news analysis highlighting that ETF infla..
