Russell futures erased early selling pressure to reach new all-time highs, climbing over the 2,800 mark to trade near 2,805. Initial geopolitical concerns from the Middle East drove early market weakness, but these fears stabilized throughout the session. The Russell capitalized on strong domestic themes, benefiting from robust U.S. manufacturing data, a strong service sector, and a resilient labor market, along with a slightly lower U.S. dollar. Meanwhile, other major averages like the S&P and Nasdaq-100 traded slightly lower, sitting just off their own all-time highs, while the Dow remained largely unchanged just below its February peaks.
