A U.S.–Iran preliminary peace agreement sent risk assets higher, boosting S&P 500 and Nasdaq while oil and energy fell. SpaceX IPO and AI demand added momentum.

Major catalysts over the last 48 hours pushed indexes higher: SpaceX’s strong IPO debut, a pullback in oil prices and a bullish Intel upgrade combined with easing Middle East tensions to lift the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq. These concrete events supported gains and signaled rotation into tech and cyclical names.

S&P 500 and major US benchmarks rose as Brent crude slid and SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO tightened focus on index rules and passive flows. Geopolitical easing and watchful Fed commentary under Chair Kevin Warsh added to risk appetite. Investors should weigh short-term liquidity effects from index inclusion against longer-term policy and energy dynamics.

A sharp de-escalation in U.S.–Iran tensions drove a broad rebound in U.S. indices, with the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq posting strong gains as treasury yields fell and chip stocks led advances. The move reversed a prior-day selloff triggered by weakness in AI and semiconductor names.

Sharp tech-sector declines and an oil-driven risk-off surge pushed the S&P 500, Dow 30 and Nasdaq significantly lower over June 9–10, with Microsoft and other bellwethers amplifying volatility and Oracle earnings looming as a potential trigger for further swings.

Major U.S. indexes diverged as AI-chip volatility rattled tech names: S&P 500 slipped 0.3% to 7,386.65, Nasdaq fell ~1% while the Dow rose 86 points. Micron and other semiconductor stocks swung wildly; Marvell surged on S&P inclusion, and a potential SpaceX IPO added event-driven pressure.
