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.
Archer Aviation’s shares swung from a near‑$9 rally in January to about $6.93 by late February, a 20% drop driven by short‑seller allegations of certification delays. The decline was cushioned by BlackRock’s increased passive stake to 8.1% and a strategic manufacturing partnership with Stellantis, which together form a price floor. The week’s two catalysts—Joby Aviation’s earnings on Wednesday and Archer’s own Q4/2025 update on Monday—will determine whether the stock rebounds or continues to lag. A short‑interest level of roughly 17% of float sets up a potential squeeze if Archer disproves the delay rumors.
