S&P 500 futures are expected to slip on Monday amid growing doubts that the U.S. and Iran will soon strike a deal to allow vessels to freely transit the Strait of Hormuz.
Futures tied to the broad index remained flat, while Nasdaq-100 futures added 0.2%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures shed 58 points, or 0.11%.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 added over 0.54% while the Topix was marginally higher. The Kospi gained 0.53% and the small-cap Kosdaq advanced 1.48%.
Last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comments to CNBC suggested a deal was imminent. But President Donald Trump told Axios on Sunday that the U.S. was "only semi-negotiating" with Iran.
The three major indexes are coming off their best weeks since April, with the S&P 500 finishing last week at an all-time closing record.
Economic data expected this week will help investors gauge the latest inflation trends.
