Stocks Rally as Trump Signals US-Iran Deal Is Near | Closing Bell
The closing bell saw a sharp market rally after President Trump signaled a near‑term U.S.–Iran agreement, prompting traders to buy equities and Treasury bonds while dumping oil. By the final minutes, the S&P 500 climbed about 2% and the Nasdaq 100 surged nearly 3%, marking the strongest one‑day gain since early spring. Sector‑by‑sector data showed materials up roughly 3.3% and information technology near 3%, while energy lagged 2% as Brent fell to $90 a barrel. Semiconductor stocks led the charge, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index up 7.9% and Intel jumping more than 9% after a rating upgrade. Other winners included airline stocks, up about 8%, while software names like Adobe and Oracle lagged. Trump repeatedly told reporters the deal could be signed over the weekend, citing a lift of the Hormuz blockade and Iran’s pledge to forgo a nuclear weapon. Experts cautioned that the president may be speaking ahead of any formal agreement, noting Iran’s own news agency had not confirmed the terms. The market’s exuberance reflected a shift from geopolitical risk to optimism about de‑escalation. If the deal materializes, the rally could sustain higher equity valuations and keep energy prices subdued. Conversely, a reversal would likely trigger a rapid sell‑off, especially in energy and defense sectors, underscoring the fragility of gains driven by political headlines.
