S&P 500 jumps 3% for strongest weekly gain in five months as oil eases and Trump signals Iran talks
The S&P 500 surged 3% on Tuesday, delivering its best weekly performance since November and ending a five‑week decline. The rally was sparked by President Donald Trump’s comments on a possible US‑Iran cease‑fire and a temporary dip in oil prices. The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF remains 7% below its January peak, while AMD posted a 2.5% monthly gain.
Wall Street lifted on March 17 as the S&P 500 climbed 0.2% to 6,716.09 and the Nasdaq rose 0.5% to 22,479.53, sparked by fresh demand for agentic AI solutions and a modest easing of global energy‑supply worries. The bounce marks the first positive close since early March and signals a shift back toward growth‑oriented tech stocks.
