The Big Story
Hormuz reopening drives oil to five-week lows and powers another record stock-market surge
- S&P 500 closes above 7,100 for the first time and posts its fastest recovery since 1982 as oil falls on the Strait of Hormuz reopening
- Nasdaq 100 extends its rally to 13 straight days, the longest streak since 2013, while the S&P 500 adds $7.3 trillion from its March 30 low
- Oil ends at five-week lows after Iran declares Hormuz open, but Tehran tells mediators crossings remain limited and tolls will continue during the ceasefire
- Iraq resumes southern oil exports after a month-long halt and nine firms take 26.03 million barrels in SPR crude loans to stabilize supply
- Moody’s says trade flows through Hormuz will take time to normalize even if the ceasefire holds, while farmers still face fertilizer costs up 47% since late February
