US stocks celebrated the announcement of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran yesterday. On Wednesday, Dow Jones gained more than 1,200 points, closing 2.8% higher. Nasdaq was up 2.6% and the S&P 500 rose 2.4% ending the day above the 6,700 level.
However, U.S. stock futures were slightly lower Thursday after yesterday’s rally as markets paused following optimism from President Donald Trump’s decision to suspend attacks on Iran for two weeks. The ceasefire sparked a major rebound in equities, but uncertainty remains, with accusations of violations and ongoing geopolitical risks. Investors are now cautious, awaiting inflation data and jobless claims, while monitoring whether the ceasefire will hold.
President Donald Trump also announced a 50% tariff on all goods from countries supplying weapons to Iran, effective immediately and with no exemptions.
Asia-Pacific markets moved lower today as investors reacted to renewed tensions after Iran accused the U.S. of violating the two-week ceasefire agreement. The negative sentiment spread across regional equities, while oil prices rose, reflecting continued uncertainty around the conflict and the stability of the ceasefire.
Gold held above $4,700 but remained under pressure, as a stronger U.S. Dollar, supported by doubts over the Iran ceasefire, limited upside. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, including renewed conflict involving Lebanon and threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, continue to support the dollar and weigh on gold. However, a dovish Fed outlook and expectations of future rate cuts are helping to limit losses, with markets now awaiting key U.S. inflation data for direction.
The US Dollar Index rebounded after a sharp drop, while major currencies remain mostly range bound, with the euro slipping below 1.1700 and mixed outlooks across yen, pound, and emerging market pairs. US Treasury yields have risen sharply, maintaining a bullish outlook.
