U.S. equities surge sharply, adding approximately $1.5 trillion in market capitalization in a single session as tensions between the United States and Iran show signs of de-escalation. The rally reflects a rapid shift in investor sentiment following reduced geopolitical risk.
Major benchmarks including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lead gains, with technology and growth stocks rebounding after recent declines. Investors rotate back into risk assets as concerns over energy supply disruptions and inflation pressures temporarily ease.
The move follows a period of heightened volatility across global markets, where geopolitical tensions had triggered sharp selloffs in equities and commodities. Analysts say the rebound highlights how quickly markets can reprice risk when macro conditions shift, though caution remains as the broader outlook depends on sustained stability in the region.
