NEW YORK: Stock futures fell and oil rose after President Donald Trump called for the evacuation of Tehran, in comments that contrasted with earlier optimism that Israel-Iran tensions wouldn’t escalate into a wider conflict.
Gold also climbed following Trump’s comments in a social media post from a Group of Seven leaders’ summit in Alberta. It wasn’t clear what he was referring to but hours earlier, Trump had said Iran wanted to make a deal. The US President is cutting short his G-7 visit, according to the White House, and returning to Washington.
