Markets rose ahead of pressures to calm the storm in the Middle East.
The Dow Jones index rose 0.75%, the S&P 500 index rose 0.94%, and the Nasdaq index rose 1.52%. The Nikkei, Boerse, and Sensex are all also up. Both the U.S. Dollar and gold weakened over the course of the day. Even Bitcoin, which is riding off of its 4-day rally, has finally ceased its rise in valuation today.
Generally, stocks rose as investors became optimistic that the United States could broker a peace deal. Iran, wanting to avoid total escalation of conflict with the leader of the West, announced interest in making a deal with President Trump. Trump, wanting a very favorable position diplomatically, pressured Iran to agree to a nuclear deal to prevent the risk of nuclear weapons from reaching Israel.
However, stocks fell in the afterhours as Trump made shocking announcements online Monday evening calling for the complete evacuation of Iran to any American citizens there. This spread fears online that a war was coming, with no evidence of this yet to surface.
The Magnificent Seven responded very well to Trump's calls for peace, with Nvidia and Meta leading the way in share price growth. Nvidia specifically nearly topped its all-time high of around $153 per share.
Stocks of Trump Media & Technology Group fell in response to a poor investor outlook of the newly unveiled "Trump Mobile" phone service.
