The Big Story

U.S.-Iran negotiation hopes fueled a risk-on rally despite unresolved Middle East tensions.

  • S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs as investors bet U.S.-Iran talks could restart.
  • Trump said Iran wants a deal and plans to make an offer aimed at satisfying U.S. demands.
  • Intel surged 24% in its best day since 1987, powering a broader chip-led tech rally.
  • Brent crude settled at $105.33 as ship seizures and Hormuz disruption risks kept geopolitical pressure elevated.
  • Late buy imbalances were strongly positive across the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow 30 and Mag 7.
