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.
Bank of America raised its price target for Union Pacific (UNP) to $297 from $266, reaffirming a Buy rating, while Jefferies lifted its target to $300 from $285, also maintaining a Buy. Both firms cite the railroad’s strong operating performance and view the asset‑heavy network as a resilient “halo” exposure in an economy facing AI‑driven disruption. The upgrades suggest confidence that Union Pacific can capture growth as the industrial economy approaches an inflection point. Analysts see the company’s capital‑intensive, regulated infrastructure as a long‑term defensive play.
