Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell about 0.6%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.7% and 0.8%, respectively. The pullback followed a strong rally the previous week, when optimism around a temporary ceasefire lifted markets.

President Donald Trump said the US would move to block maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz after talks in Islamabad ended without agreement.

Negotiations reportedly broke down over a range of issues, including control of the waterway, financial demands, and regional military activity involving Israel and Lebanon.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for global oil supply, and any disruption there typically heightens market volatility.
