U.S. stock futures rose on Monday following Friday’s sharp sell-off. Futures of the major benchmark indices were higher after they entered the correction territory last week, falling more than 10% below their 52-week highs.

The markets head into the truncated trading week with Good Friday on April 3; however, investors will watch out for March’s employment report, as it is not a federal holiday but just a market holiday.

Meanwhile, over the weekend, President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S. could seize Iran’s oil infrastructure, including the key export hub on Kharg Island. He said his “favorite thing” would be to “take the oil in Iran,” while adding the U.S. has “a lot of options.”

Trump also characterized Iran’s new leaders as “very reasonable” and indicated a possible agreement between the two countries.

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.39%, and the two-year bond was at 3.89%. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 96.4% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged in its April meeting.
