Stock futures dipped Tuesday as escalating oil prices, fueled by the continued shutdown of Saudi Arabia’s East-West pipeline, cast a shadow over market sentiment.

This confluence of rising energy costs and elevated bond yields suggests a cautious outlook, with markets bracing for potential inflation pressures and the Fed’s next move on interest rates.
