Major equity index futures are modestly lower to start the month of June, as traders must contend with rising U.S.-China tensions and tariff headlines. President Trump last week said China violated the 90-day Trade War truce between the two countries, with Beijing vowing countermeasures after Trump revoked Chinese student visas and halted chip design software exports.

OPEC+ agreed to sharply raise crude oil production during the weekend and seeks a 411,000 barrel/day increase, but crude oil futures are spiking more than +4% this morning after markets continue to assess the damage from a major Ukrainian offensive against Russia and what effect it could have on oil production.
