- Dow Jones closed up about 1300 points as U.S. stocks surged following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire.
- S&P 500 rose roughly 2% in the same session.
- Nasdaq gained about 3% at the opening bell.
- Pakistan brokered a two‑week ceasefire between the United States and Iran that lifted investor sentiment.
- Oil prices fell below $100 per barrel, spurring expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts.
- U.S. Treasury yields dropped after the ceasefire announcement.
- Global bonds were poised for a rebound, though elevated energy prices limited gains.
Why it matters: Investors captured immediate gains as the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq surged, while lower Treasury yields and sub‑$100 oil prices revived expectations of Fed rate cuts; however, elevated energy‑price‑driven inflation limits the rally’s upside and could pressure oil exporters for global markets.
