Wall Street surges on Iran cease‑fire, but Cramer warns of overbought risk
U.S. equities jumped after a two‑week cease‑fire between the United States and Iran, pushing the S&P 500 up 3.6%, the Nasdaq 4.7% and the Dow 3% – the strongest weekly gain for all three indices since November. Jim Cramer cautioned that the rally may be premature, labeling the market overconfident given the fragile truce and lingering Middle‑East risks.

The Dow surged over 1,300 points even as Iran accused the United States of breaching their cease‑fire agreement, sparking concerns over oil‑tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and nudging crude prices higher. In Washington, a federal appeals court denied Anthropic’s request to block a Pentagon‑imposed AI supply‑chain ban, continuing the startup’s legal battle with the Department of Defense. Federal Reserve minutes revealed that market odds of a 2026 rate cut rose to 43% after President Trump’s tariff remarks, while Meta unveiled its first proprietary AI model, Muse Spark, aiming to capture AI market share. Analysts also project that GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs could generate roughly $13 billion in extra apparel spending annually, creating a potential retail boost.
