Luis Alvarez Stock index futures were lower on Thursday as traders continued to monitor U.S.-Iran developments, with Tehran rejecting an American proposal to end the ongoing conflict. Here are the four stocks to watch on the day: Microsoft ( MSFT ) fell 0.53% in premarket trading after Chief People Officer Amy Coleman announced a reorganization of the human resources team responsible for compensation and policies. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the changes to the HR team, which were first reported by Business Insider. Lumentum ( LITE ) dropped 3.70% before the opening bell after the company announced plans to establish a new manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, to produce advanced lasers for the world’s largest AI data centers. The 240,000-square-foot facility is currently operational and will be retrofitted to manufacture Lumentum’s InP-based optical products, including continuous wave and ultra-high-power lasers, with production expected to ramp up in mid-2028. MARA Holdings ( MARA ) gained 6.28% in premarket trade after announcing it had agreed to repurchase approximately $1 billion of its 0% convertible senior notes due 2030 and 2031. The company entered into privately negotiated agreements to repurchase about $367.5 million of its 2030 notes for $322.9 million and ~$633.4 million of its 2031 notes for roughly $589.9 million. Novocure ( NVCR ) advanced 2.15% before the bell after announcing its cancer treatment device, Tumor Treating Fields, reached the primary endpoint in its Phase 2 PANOVA-4 trial for patients with a certain form of pancreatic cancer. The Swiss MedTech company said TTFields, as part of a combination regimen, improved the disease control rate with a statistically significant effect compared to results from its Phase 3 MPACT study, which served as a historical control.

Richard Drury Rising geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran are reverberating through global energy markets, driving oil prices higher and complicating the path to price stability and inflation. The latest projections from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) indicate that the surge in energy costs is expected to prolong inflationary pressures across major economies. According to the OECD, headline inflation in advanced G20 economies is now forecast to reach 4.0% in 2026—1.2 percentage points above prior estimates—largely reflecting elevated oil and energy prices linked to the conflict. While inflation is anticipated to moderate to 2.7% in 2027 as energy markets likely stabilize, the near-term outlook suggests a more persistent inflation environment. At the same time, core inflation, which excludes volatile energy and food prices, is projected to ease modestly from 2.6% in 2026 to 2.3% in 2027. However, sustained energy volatility risks delaying broader disinflation, posing ongoing challenges for central banks and policymakers worldwide.
