US stock index futures were largely muted as investors awaited crucial inflation data and assessed the fragility of the Middle East truce.

US stock futures inched lower as cracks emerged in the fragile Middle East ceasefire, with investors turning their focus to domestic inflation readings.

US stocks advanced, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 275.88 points, as investors grew more optimistic about a potential de-escalation in the Middle East conflict.
