U.S.-Iran talks spark rally, AI megacaps in focus
U.S. Vice‑President JD Vance led the first face‑to‑face talks with Iranian officials in Islamabad, easing Middle‑East tensions. The weekly rally lifted the Dow 3%, the S&P 500 3.6% and the Nasdaq 4.7%, driven by AI‑heavy megacap stocks. Google, Amazon and Nvidia were flagged as being in buy areas.
The S&P 500 has erased the recent sell‑off, completing a full round‑trip back to the middle of its trading range. Volatility has collapsed to near‑record lows, and systematic fund flows have shifted from aggressive selling to providing net support. While the market reset has cleared bearish positioning, the reduced price momentum is eroding the short‑term edge that many traders relied on. The broader implication is a likely transition to a more subdued, range‑bound environment until new catalysts emerge.
The $VIX ended the day at 19.49, which is below the level it closed at the day before the Iran war began (19.86 on Feb 27). All is calm again... https://t.co/8iOlF6bfQZ
