wtf? Marketwatch has bizarre headline ... market futures up ... TFG willing to end war [View all]

U.S. stock futures jumped Monday evening while oil prices reversed earlier gains following a report from the Wall Street Journal that President Donald Trump has told aides he is considering ending the war with Iran, even without a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

S&P 500 futures
ES00
+0.85%
were up 1% in recent trade at 6,450, while futures tied to the Nasdaq-100
NQ00
+0.85%
and Dow Jones Industrial Average
YM00
+0.88%
were sitting on gains of a similar magnitude.
