Wall Street was on track to extend its rally and oil prices fell as expectations rose over a possible second round of talks between the U.S. and Iran to end their war. Futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.3% before the opening bell, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average ticked up 0.1%. Nasdaq futures climbed 0.5%.
