U.S. stock futures rebounded and oil prices fell after Iran said talks had made good progress on the release of Iranian assets and relief from oil sanctions. S&P 500 futures rose 0.55% from session lows, Nasdaq futures gained 0.45%, and Russell 2000 futures added 0.7%. Oil dropped 3%, while gold rose 2%, silver gained 4%, and Bitcoin increased 2%.
